CHINA'S WALK OUT VID
China’s ‘walk out’ vid for the Olympics didn’t have to go this hard! Ok, so this isn’t a lift, but in case you missed it, check out this post from Shi Zhiyong.
SARA SAMIR MIGHT HAVE THE STRONGEST LEGS IN WEIGHTLIFTING
Sara Samir (EGY 76/81), the two-time world champion, squats 210kg for a SPEEDY double. She posted the video on her IG story and so it has since disappeared, but trust us when we tell you no other non-super can do that!
SHI ZHIYONG SNATCHES 160KG
Shi Zhiyong (CHN -73) snatches 160kg with relative ease! The two-time Olympian is in the hunt for a third gold this summer. To do so he’ll have to defeat the world no.1, Rizki Juniansyah (INA -73), who just snatched 165kg from the blocks.
HAMPTON MORRIS TRIPLES WORLD RECORD
Hampton Morris (USA -61) jerks 177kg, +1kg over his world record, for a triple! Admittedly he rests a little between reps, but wow is that incredible.
SOLFRID LIFTS AT BRITISH CHAMPS
3 x world champ Solfrid Koanda (NOR -87kg) snatches 123kg and clean & jerks 157kg for a 280kg total at the British Champs rocking the WLHOUSE singlet.
COACH MARY JERKS OVER THE WORLD RECORD
Mary Theisen-Lappen (USA +87) jerks 188kg off the blocks, +1kg over the world record clean and jerk held by China’s Li Wenwen.
CHEN POJEN SNATCHES A HUGE 185KG
Chen Pojen (TPE -102) snatches 185kg from the floor. He narrowly missed out on Olympic selection, but clearly he’s making a push for Worlds in Bahrain.
KARLOS NASSAR DOES IT AGAIN...
Karlos Nasar (BUL -89) snatches 180kg again… this is just becoming routine!
