Li Wenwen of China about to ENTER the competition by attempting 130kg.
Park planning an assault on 131kg.
The Chinese will be VERY happy with that.
There are a lot of fellas whoâd consider themselves strong, myself included, thatâd struggle to bench what she just put over her head
The last time I saw 131kg being benched was when Sean Quigley got substituted.
Very disappointing that the BBC have gone back to the track cycling. Nobody understands it.

Eurosport 1 doing the weightlifting
Iâm watching it on this link. Li Wenwen has lifted 136 kg now but is electing not to take her final lift in the snatch part of the competition. I have no idea whatâs happening but itâs a hell of a lot more exciting than the track cycling.
Daybreak LA presented by Moya Doherty iirc

Itâs done on a total, the weights of the snatch and clean and jerk will be combined. A heavy weight takes a huge amount out of someone so if you can minimise the amount of reps you do youâre at a big advantage

Cali is extremely liberal and especially SF⌠The state has ate itself due to crackpot lefty headbanger-ism
The LAZER ROUND on Eurosport 2 now.
Thatâs where weâre at now. Tracksuit was viciously set on for asking a very innocent question.

Remember Dunphy wrote articles about the LA Olympics and the soullessness of the place. Everyone wishing him âhave a nice dayâ. Eventually he got fed up of it and told someone âgo fuck yourselfâ.

Whatever policies California has followed lately, mainly progressive ones, have not worked. In fact theyâve been disastrous. They are suffering an exodus of creative, talented people and having things like homelessness and drug-use skyrocketing

Flawless lift from the Egyptian there. Power jerk so much tidier than a split jerk
The homelessness isnât necessarily a local problem I donât think. Homeless people come to California from across the states.
Cost of living plays a part too

Thatâs certainly a possibility but the unaffordable cost of living in California, including stupidly high taxes, has driven a lot of locals into homelessness
Finally a bit of modern pentathlon on BBC but itâs not the delinquent horses part.
Just too heavy for the Uzbek lifter. Never looked solid
