i feel bad for rostami, too much pride is too heavy and that means a harder fall.

[@JHMninja89]

He's a saiyan

[@pegleggreg3627]

He’s a go big or go home kind of guy with the high risk high reward mentality. Either he wins gold, or he bombs out trying to win gold. Not the strategy I would do but maybe that’s why I’m not Oly and world champ?

[@harrispj4205]

who's Oly?

[@pegleggreg3627]

Harris Pj Olympic hehe

[@therevenger3191]

ehhh that's more like tian tao, if tian prepared his lifts better in the 2016 Olympics he might've gotten the gold instead

[@vfxforge]

Got nothing but respect for Kianoush, he does him. But I feel like he needs a few trusted advisors in his corner. Seems like a lonely dude.

Tian Tao did beat Rostami i think once, at the 2014 Asian Games. Tian went 163/218 (3 for 6, missing 211 and going all in, classic Tian) and Rostami went 172/208 (missing 212 2x)

[@-TK-]

he only has himself to blame for being a man baby and consequently bombing every meet.

[@karlizen4990]

No way he'd get that

[@LaFranceBonjour]

I think Kianoush does have an attitude that he is better then everyone else and is too good and special. Here in Iran weightlifting is surprisingly popular and he has been treated like a god which I think has just gone to his head with everyone worshipping the ground he walks on.

[@0223eoin]

I hate when they do that. You’re lucky he didn’t make his own line of Whiskey and start punching old men in bars.

[@ScruffyLeKing]

@@0223eoin LOL THIS COMMENT HAHAHA SNEAKY

[@davidec.4021]

Say what you want, but he approached that last lift like a Samurai against machine-gun fire. Mad respect for this stoic man.

[@chachi_luna]

Although Rostami is a valued lifter and a competitive lifter, he is still an ego lifter

[@MelMoy11]

Completely agree. The greats like Lasha doesn't need to walk around believing he's superior to everyone. He just goes out and makes lifts. No doubt that his ego is what held him back

[@chachi_luna]

Melissa Moya agreed! You could say the same for Liu, Tina and even Sorhab!

[@chachi_luna]

Škodlivý Plž if it is the right mentality, why does he fail and miserably?

[@amirnaderian4049]

As an irani I'm not offended its kinda true but his ego is also what makes him such a a good lifter it sorta strange it's like his sense of pride is what drives him to do more and work harder

[@lucasskrobish2473]

@@MelMoy11 when your 6'6 180 kgs and snatch almost 10 kilos over what was the world record for decades, you know you have absolutely nothing to prove

one of my favourites, beautiful technique. Don't think this was his best day though, seems tense on the platform

[@haroldpepete]

I'm not a Rostamy's fan, yet in this event had so many people, people outside the event, in these room athletes need concentration, stay focus, this little thing breaks athletes concentration

[@andrew98115wl]

If they played Vangelis at my competitions, I'd also get 177/232!

[@NewJak14]

Really nice video! Thank you. I really like this guy's style, going in on his own.

[@andrew98115wl]

I listen to Vangelis on my way to the gym too! 😁

[@ondrej7982]

Some say proud, I think insecure :/

[@MelMoy11]

I agree with you. Lack of confidence filled with ego.

[@ChristopherWB]

I think it’s to much confidence and belief that he’s better and can do more than what his body can actually handle

[@TheArtofBoxing101]

Boy is an Olympic Champion how can you not be insecure after winning that and now failing? It's basic human shit. I'd say he's trying 10x harder than most.

[@haroldpepete]

this guy has a big confidence problem, he is arrogant, i prefer Moradi, Moradi talks with medals and goals

[@spazmoidectomorf6209]

That's exactly what hes after. His arrogance drives you to watch him and his rivals. Your dislike of him drives the encouragement of his rivals to beat him. He has just made weightlifting more interesting and has bought you in to watch him, which benefits all weightlifters

[@MaestroJericho]

I like when Mendez went against him in Anaheim and Mendez big dogged all his lifts.

It's what made him a champion

[@TheTillhammer]

Yeah he is only a olympic champion. He could be so much more if it wasn’t for his ego 🤡

[@volakha]

Really enjoy your videos, narrations and interviews in general .... but I dont think you're really being fair in how you characterize his "personality". He comes across as on of those 'deep' personalities that can be misunderstood if you look only on the surface. The politics in the Iranian weightlifting federation is a whole story in itself as well .... but regardless they really did him dirty, and this is corroborated by the likes of Behdad Salimi as well. Its just such a shame to miss him in Tokyo, would have made for a great showdown with everyoe else.

[@WeightliftingHouse]

I get what you are saying, and I didn't come to my conclusions quickly and without thought. When I was just a fan of the sport I thought exactly that. He is a deep thinker who was hard done by. But since getting to know him, talking with him, eating with him, filming him etc I have realised that whilst he is still all of those things, it is more complex than just that. Yes he is a deep thinker, but he still chooses to open too heavy. He still claims that he didn't understand how to qualify for the Olympics even though there are people I know who have explained it to him, not to mention the fact that it is his responsibility to work it out. If me and half of the podcast listeners understand how to qualify then an Olympic Champion really should too. Long reply, apologies. I completely get where you are coming from, I just think it's more than him just being a deep thinker.

[@volakha]

@@WeightliftingHouse love the thorough response brother ... I guess I have to look into it more. For the comp in switzerland though he made a few insta posts in persian, being really sad and confused by the lack of support by the Iranian federation and not submitting his name on time ... I wonder what really happened.

[@jmp955]

@@p.nagybalint I´m currently expecting that. without him or Moradi, the 96s class will be poor considering that Tian will probably be out of national selection for tokyo. Meso is good, but in their best shapes, Rostami and Moradi are much better.

[@josephfeliciano6415]

@@jmp955 if moradi isn't there then tian has a good chance of going. I do not think rostami has the potential to beat him at 96kg if he went and sadly I think moradi's injury really messed up everything for him. He struggles to jerk 200-205 😔 In their best shape i think meso is stronger. 182 and 232 from him in tokyo

hey man, he is not officially out for Tokyo so please don´t say that he has probably retired and out of Olympic contentions. Anybody knows how will be the qualification with this pandemics....

[@WeightliftingHouse]

I didn't say he was officially out, but if you understand the qualification procedure you'll know that he will need enormous world records to come close, and that's if the changes due to the pandemic are favourable to him.

[@jmp955]

@@WeightliftingHouse sorry I understood that! and I´m aware of the qualification procedure, so this means that I have a big confident on him in getting that spot. Don´t forget that he compete in Qatar in a shape not good as for world championships and he got 403 as total for PB... I believe he will reach 410/415 for sure.

@@JinnDante That was my thought exactly when all this weight class foolishness was announced last year. It would make more sense to move down to 81kg. Rostami at 81kg would probably be capable of 170+210 at minimum and who can beat that?

1:43 we are probably near the end of it. I mean that's a negative comment for no reason. Have you talked to the man if he is going to retire ? He is 28 not that old. Hell Lu is 35 and he still goes strong. This is a rumor unless you have actual proof of him actually retiring. You are talking like he is donezo

[@LaFranceBonjour]

He did say that if he doesn’t make the Tokyo olympics he would possibly retire in a previous interview.

​ @La France Never mind then my bad. But damn i wish Kianoush to drop down to 89 or 81 where he is most comfortable and compete. No drama no talking. Just lifting. Charismatic weightlifter that lets drama influence his actions
