Meanwhile in that Russian Training Hall …
18 year old Timur Naniev (105kg) snatching something big. Your guesses in the comments please. A commenter on the video said it may be 180kg and I like to believe that.
Last year, at the 2012 Junior Worlds he got 4th (383kg total; 171kg Snatch; 212kg C&J)
Simon Klimesh says
looks like 180, very mechanical and precise!
Simon Klimesh says
also there is something very “modern” about his technique.
BobUncle says
Is it just me or are more Russian lifters pulling with the same foot stance as their catch? There’s something awesome about the turn over too.
Frank Yang says
20 + 2(2.5 + 2.5 + 25 + 10 + 25) = 150
or
20 + 2(2.5 + 2.5 + 10 + 25 + 15 + 25) =180
I think number 2, especially considering his competition lift was 171kg.
Greg Russo says
I completely agree with Simon, very modern technique, and very very precise. That is the cleanest 180 I have ever seen from a junior.
Simon Klimesh says
very clean, very sharp.
Roberto says
lift in the 105kg category in Russia is not easy.
