Meanwhile in Russia …
Currently the Russian Junior Championships (U21) are underway in Volgograd.
The 69kg category was dominated by now 17 year old Vyacheslav Yarkin.
I think the announcer even mentions that this is a Russian record. Maybe someone can confirm.
More: Watch his 150kg Snatch at 71kg in training.

The official RFWF site is useless for records, but according to Shatoy the previous Junor snatch record was 147.5 by Vladislav Lukanin.
Yeah, and the announcer mentiones that if successful he would beat the previous record by 1kg.
Yarkin’s 148 kg snatch is really the new russian junior record.
Plus Slava Yarkin just achieved Internetional Master of Sports of Russia))
