Are the full videos for the other classes not available or not yet located? Non-latin chars are rather cryptic to me.
I linked all the available full videos.
Thanks!
World champs will be very interesting again between Kashirina and Lulu. Although Kashirina seems to be ruling – you never know…
But from what I understand, that match-up will have to wait for 2015, as being the winner, Zhou Lulu will go to the Asian Games in Korea, leaving the runner up, Meng Suping, with the daunting task of meeting the mighty Russian in Kazakhstan.
My god Tian Yuan is fast fast fast!
Holy cow!! Zhou Lulu said that her lifts may have looked comfortable but they were very hard for her, and that her opening weight (did not say if she was referring to snatch or clean and jerk) was the heaviest weight she’d done in recent training!
On another note, does anyone else think Zhang Wanqiong is really cute? I’m a bit smitten here…
Yeah, the Chinese lifters still look like girls/women which helps every sport. Unlike some Eastern Europeans who wouldn’t look out of place at some American Bodybuilding freakshow (cough Podobedova).
Except Tian Yuan…
Maxmum (Best) result Zhou Lulu on training (in China) : 148 kg (Snatch) +200 kg (Clean & Jerk),this will be enough for her Gold Medal in RIO-2016. Good Lack Zhou Lulu in Kazakhstan on WorldCup-2014 and in RIO-2016 !!!!!!! In Russia Love Zhou Lulu and China !!!
