Poker!

FYI, the heavies were on by the 2008 Olympic champ Jang Mi-Ran.

The competition was pretty much a rematch from Asian championships for the world record owners Podobedova and Lei. The Chinese wasn't in as a good shape as she has been previous years so it was a easy competition for the ex-Russian Svetlana. She was in phenomenal condition making all three world records with her lifts.

I was a bit suprised from Hripsime's performance since she bested her personal bests a lot. All in all, this was the first class where I was able to predict the top three correctly.

I wonder where did the Russians disappear. Injuries I guess.  ::)

Yes sir indeed she did. She has also won two of the previous world championships so she is really starting to threat Liu Chunhongs position as a greatest woman lifter.

Kashirina caught my eye early this year at Russian championships where she performed extremely well for being only 18-year-old superheavy. Very young lifters are often seen in lower weight classes, but it is quite rare in the top classes.

Even though noticing all that and my guess was that she would total 300+, I was very surprised to see her winning the snatch category beating Mi-Ran and being only two kilos shy from world record. It seems to be that the Russians are often very good in snatch lifts.

But in the clean and jerk it was back to casual order. The most famous Korean lifter took what the home crowd was expecting and even broke her own world record by lifting 187 kg. Her squat was very explosive even with that weight so she has very very strong legs. The Finnish commentator Kaarlo Kangasniemi – olympic winner with several world records from the late 60's – estimated that her back squat might be around 300 kg. I don't think even great Becca couldn't lift that much RAW and it is very much for many elite man lifters.

The Chinese lifter wasn't able to match Jang's performance and it seems to be difficult to understand their policy to choose lifters since they would have got many better competitors in this weight category.

Got legs? A challenger appears for Tina Lockwood.

Podobedova was awesome, and looked great. Shame that Eurosport hasn't done a sort of retrospective round-up, too much airtime devoted to snowy things.

Wasn't the girl from Greece(Mavridou) only 16 or 17 at the Olympics?
And the big girl from Nigeria?
But my main question to you is Dovhal in 7th. Is this the end for her?

I didn't think I would like the Super-Heavy class as much as the others, but Mi-Ran making that huge jump in weight to break the World Record in front of her home crowd was really inspirational.

Yeah they were young, but my point was that top lifters are usually not that young in superheavies. Agata Wróbel was the previous one if I recall correctly and her record were shattered in these games by Kashirina.

I don't understand your second question. She did only slight better in the olympics and her place was the same so I don't think this changes her position in national team anyhow. Dovhal was replacing Olha Korobka who has either quitted or injured for the whole season. Olha is by far Ukrainian top superheavy lifter – and also the heaviest lifer, men included.
