4:08 the athlete shown was Neisi Dajomes, not Tamara Salazar 💀

[@moriahrapp]

Great video as always! One note -- Minute 4:10 is Neisi Dajomes, not Tamara Salazar.

[@nammas8211]

They mixed up the Ecuadorians 😂

[@Shakenbake-in9ux]

Lmao he only cares about giulia imperio anyways

[@nammas8211]

@nattyfatty6.0 mistakes happen! It's all good though 😂!

[@F0XRunner]

These Athletes are just fantastic. The power and drive is off the charts. Nothing but respect. 🙏

[@TheJakecakes]

So sad about Rogers. What a bummer😢

[@SomeSeriousWeight]

It's been really hard for a lot of US lifters. Sarah Robles dropped out against Mary Lappen, Hailey Richardt dropped out against Jordan DeLaCruz, Danielle Gunnin dropped out against Taylor Wilkins. This qualification system is mentally draining as well as physically draining for people trying to get in.

[@TheJakecakes]

​@@SomeSeriousWeightDo you think it's a worthwhile system? It seems to be putting these borderline athletes at great risk for injury.

[@SomeSeriousWeight]

@@TheJakecakes No I do not think the current qualification system is a good one. Not only is it more likely to put athletes at risk of injury. It's also more likely to increase bombouts (which we are probably going to see a lot of at the World Cup) which makes it worse to watch. There are a bunch of other reasons why it isn't good.

[@axreason]

i remember the first video WH made mentioning Solfrid some years ago. i commented that she potentially could go on to become an olympic champion. can't wait to see her lift in Paris!

[@Joakimher]

3:30 That turned out to be a problem

[@Chiara.Ferrara]

Great stuff! Can' wait!

[@WilFleming1K]

Don’t forget the battle of Tamara and Neisi. Dajomes has to get to 266 to make the Olympics

[@Ptownmarc]

The fact that every country can only enter 3 women is stupid. I understand in a way why they do it but I don't like it.

[@selenahong]

Agreed. I think it's completely unfair to the athletes who have proven themselves time and time again.

[@rustyelder]

EXTRA-ordinay women! Great content.

[@christianwijaya6906]

Mattie Rogers gonna had Tough Battle against Kate Vibert for Olympics Spot

[@valhallastrengthyyc]

Rogers pulled out

[@christianwijaya6906]

​@@valhallastrengthyyc Sorry my Bad Sir didn't watched Full Video yet before Comment this🙏

[@unahojuela]

Dumb question - but will I still be able to watch replays of sessions on WLTV if I’m not in any of the countries (ones that can watch live comps) listed on their website?

[@psyphi407]

That looked like DeJomes, not Salazar.

[@ramblr5900]

Hello new to weightlifting 81 kg as in how much they weigh? to weightlifters cut weight to get to 81kg ?

[@charlesbryant8665]

If Solfrid can increase her total to 288 kg and 8 kg total improvement that would put her 3rd among the Supers. If Li Wenwen is injured might Solfrid compete as a Super? Solfrid doesn't like to lose weight.

[@WeightliftingHouse]

It's amazing how competitive she would be as a super, but she has confirmed with us (and publicly I believe) her intentions to compete at -81kg.

Lianda is unreal
