Here is Tian Tao’s full snatch warm up session from the 2019 Worlds!
ATG Patrons can already watch the Clean & Jerk warm up video.
See him go from the empty bar up to 170 kilos in the warm up room, plus all his competition attempts!
If you remember this session, you’ll recall that Tian Tao very nearly bombed out in the snatch, missing his first and second attempts (which he also did at the 2016 Olympics in Rio).
We can only speculate as to why he missed those first two attempts—as the warm up footage shows, he’s certainly strong enough—although it’s hard not to notice his occasional glances at his closest competitor on the platform next to him (Meso Hassona of Qatar).
