From the Backroom to the Platform | Shi vs Rahmat vs Rizki

At the last-chance Olympic qualifier in Phuket, Thailand, we saw the greatest snatch battle ever, with seven attempts taken at 160kg or more between three legends. Rahmat Erwin Abdullah came into this competition as the world number one and the world record holder in the clean and jerk. Shi Zhiyong was the Olympic champion and world record holder in the snatch and total. Rizki Juniansyah was the chaser, the athlete who needed to shock the world and cause the biggest upset of the entire Olympic quad.

Whattt.. video?

[@JundRaptor]

Loving the friendly rivalry between Shi and Rizki. Rizki clapped for Shi's 165 snatch and Shi hugged Rizki when he learned he was going to the Olympics.

[@monkeyking-self-proclaimed7050]

I would rather lose to a good competitor than to win a non competitive competition.

[@jonjoberly2731]

Yeah, Rizki couple times said that Shi is his friend and his idol. They are good friend. Even in his home Rizki has a big photo attached wall of him and Shi.

Proud of you Rahmat and Rizky ❤🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨. For Rizky, He got Gold Medals on olimpycs Paris 2024. Selamat

[@christianwijaya6906]

If Rahmat rest 1 Minutes more ,He might C&J that 206kg .But Rizki beat Rahmat Fair and Square

[@bcobesi44]

Rahmat and his team fault.

[@davidtatro7457]

If Rizki hadn't just come off of major sugery and had several months of no training, he probably would have done even better. But yeah, what Rahmat did was just a mental error. There's no doubt he was strong enough to make the 206.

[@patricklang7162]

I hated that, but at the same Time it was cool to see Rizki prove to himself and everyone else that he can and did do it.

[@julianfernandez7765]

@@bcobesi44 I think he ignored his fathers advise for this. Dissapointing that ther will be no three way battle for gold since they changed the rules.

Shi is still him but you can see in the training hall footage that he is just in so much pain.

[@tjember_ren1729]

Yes, I hope that he recovers well before the olympics

That slow walk off stage, he knows he is in CHARGE ! Props OG of the category for showing the young lions that an old Lion is still a LION !!

[@WanderingSword]

lifting heavy does take its toll

[@PT-ww9nc]

I love these commentators. They make the boring game thrilling.

[@MultiPain101]

Rahmat prolly got used to only competing when he is most comfortable. He said himself he competes in B sessions because it is most similar to his training times and he is usually astronomically above the competition of the B session, considering he is one of the best in the A session. Overall, just a lack of preparation and training in competitions where he is taking big risks.

[@theparadisesnare]

Yeah, i think you nailed it

[@JohnDoherty-dl2fz]

My hope is that Rahmat doesn’t get discouraged by this. I hope to see him go ballistic in Bahrain at the worlds and beat everyone by 10 kg. IMO he is still the 2nd best lifter in the world.

[@kucingcalico]

whos the first

[@JohnDoherty-dl2fz]

Karlos Nassar is #1 just a bit ahead of Rahmat.

[@kucingcalico]

@@JohnDoherty-dl2fz do you think rahmat is still better than rizki juniansyah after the olympics? i dont know much about weightlifting since ive only recently got into it so i would love to hear your opinion

[@JohnDoherty-dl2fz]

In my opinion Kuching Rahmat is just slightly ahead of Rizki at this time. Rizki was better in April at Phuket when he needed to be and of course he won in Paris at the Olympics. He is a deserving champion. I am excited and hope they both compete at Worlds championships in Dec.

[@kucingcalico]

@@JohnDoherty-dl2fz didnt rizki break the WR total or something? do you reckon rahmat will break it again soon?

Shi may not be the monster from 2019. But right now Shi still looks terrifyingly powerful

[@akclau]

Sadly not in C&J when he has to get heavy. Hopefully he can have a relatively healthy run at the Olympics.

Seb: "This guy is probably not gonna be able to go to the olympics unless he beats the world #1 today" Riski: "Bet" Also, obligatory FUCK YOU to the IWF Judges and Jury

[@jay17737]

@@richardpajarillo4136 you say that like you’re anywhere near the a session

[@richardpajarillo4136]

@@jay17737 you're free to infer that, but it's a fact that this is the first session for Rahmat where he had to go against heavy hitters. It's a whole lot easier to hit your heavy lifts when you're following yourself in the B session.

[@JohnDoherty-dl2fz]

Shi’s back looks like the pepperoni pizza I just had with all those stimulus patches he’s wearing. Seriously I hope he gets healed better for Paris than how he was here. You see it even more in the cl & jks. I want to see an even fight between him and Rizki. If Shi is completely sound I give him a very slim edge; but he hasn’t been completely healthy in I don’t know how long. A year? Year and a half? 2 years? Remember if he gets gold he moves into an elite group of 6 with 3 Olympic golds.
