Says next try 220kg

[@christianwijaya6906]

Pyrros Dimas maybe say to his coach probably to increase to 220 kg because Giorgi Asanidze attempt 215kg in attempt 2 and 3 but unfortunately was unsuccessful .For notes ,Giorgi Asanidze from Georgia set highest Snatch with 180 kg and Marc Huster from Germany was in second with 177,5 kg so Pyrros Dimas left behind because he only set 1 successful Snatch in 175kg at the last lift .The first was fail because time and some supporter ruin his concentration .In Clean and Jerk ,Giorgi Asanidze successful in 210kg so Marc Huster equal him in his third lift with 212,5kg but Giorgi Asanidze had the highest bodyweight and Pyrros Dimas equal they two with 215kg but Dimas have the lightest among these 3 so he lead .I think probably Giorgi Asanidze strategy was wrong because he wait for Dimas attempt 215kg ,Asanidze could be win Gold if he attempt 212,5kg in his attempt 2 and 3 not attempt 215kg where he failed .Eventually his body weight was the highest so he need to put more total .If Giorgi Asanidze successful in 212,5 kg ,his total will be 392,5 kg and Pyrros Dimas will had to put 217,5kg to lead again from 390kg .But it just long ago ,Pyrros Dimas was the winner in Sydney 2000 and Giorgi Asanidze won the 2004 Athens and beat Pyrros Dimas which attempt 4 consecutive Gold
