The Miraculous Return Of A Weightlifting Prodigy | Yeison Lopez

There was a time when the name Yeison Lopez was in the top of every other conversation about competitive weightlifting. He was setting multiple age group world records and, as a teenager, beginning to threaten senior world records. The next Lu Xiaojun some called him. After his disappearance from the sport in 2017 he returned 4 years later but lacked the punch he once had. Until now... Watch as Yeison Lopez returns to the sport with all the talent and ferocity he once had!

Its Torokhtiy media v Weightlifting House!!!! releasing videos the same day and putting out quality WL contentttt. Is what we like to seeeee

[@JoeNeedProtein]

Yup me too, I'll be waiting for that 😅

[@cheeks7050]

Great media companies, both of em.

[@mattbba8451]

I got chills watching him lift. Literally hair stood up on my arms and spine. Just wow.

[@thisisarmando]

Simply amazing, what a great story to follow!

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I missed Seb's commentary and WH editing. As always this was great content.

[@Malygaro]

His 180 snatch celebration in the ultra instinct goku singlet was great. favorite part of the whole competition!

[@vintagelifts]

Yeison Lopez snatched 178 at panams weeks before this comp

[@johndoherty-hh2ck]

Gotta feel for fellow Colombian Brayan Rodellegas. He had 382 from 2022 worlds locked in for Paris rankings which otherwise would’ve easily qualified him. Anybody know what meet Lopez got nailed at? I’ve been looking with no success.

[@Thatiscutebr0]

I think it was world juniors in 2018

[@davidtatro7457]

I just cannot wait to see what he does at the Olympics. I think he is by far one of the most exciting and underrated athletes who will be competing. I don't really expect him to beat Nasar in the C&J, but l would be very surprised if he does not beat his 182 snatch by several kilos. That 182 was one of the easiest looking world records l have ever seen.

[@Tom-vu1wr]

So many good athletes appearing in 89

[@feliciacoffey6832]

!!Yeison es el puto amo!!

[@feliciacoffey6832]

Yeison!! Feel the power!!! 🔥

[@Duimspijker]

I Love the back and front of his shirt with Goku.

[@5hydroxyT]

the guy clearly hasn't lost the competitive fire! 🔥🔥

[@JundRaptor]

Why didn't he go for 181 instead of matching? Not much higher risk than 180

[@rodolfoalves8658]

indeed, would've given him a few more minutes to rest if he attempted the WR

[@lectrix8]

Viva Colombia!!

[@bgallegos43]

For people that don't know why he stopped competing and disappeared for 4 yrs, he got caught with steroids and got banned, so it's nice that he is back, more likely probably get caught sooner than later

[@NONO-hz4vo]

Yeah, I think that was a bit of a favor on WH to not mention that. It isn't like he left to go provide for his family or take care of his sick kid or something. Nov 3. 2018: IWF reports that the urine sample of Mr. Yeison LOPEZ LOPEZ (COL) has returned an Adverse Analytical Finding for exogenous Boldenone (S1.1 Anabolic Agents).

[@bgallegos43]

@NONO-hz4vo I get people in the sport do it, but he got caught and WH should've said he got popped and that's why he "disappeared" 4 yrs, just wish weightlifting house would just say he got popped.

[@NONO-hz4vo]

@bgallegos43 Agreed. I don't think we should dwell on it but let's not pretend it doesn't exist.

[@johndoherty-hh2ck]

Seb usually says something about it. He may not come right out and say it, he may say something offhand but I don’t think he avoids it deliberately. He and his partner understand the sport unlike Eurosport’s previous commentator David Goldstein? Who always had a holier than thou attitude and would have liked to have seen the guilty party executed or at least banned for life.

[@charlesbryant8665]

With Karlos Nasar, Nino Pizzolato and now Yeison Lopez, China made not win any medals in Paris in this weight class.

[@AdStellae-]

Assuming they send Li, there is no reason Nino places above him.

[@johndoherty-hh2ck]

I don’t want to jinx Pizzalato but the way his back has been misbehaving the last 1 1/2 years I think he’ll be fortunate to compete in Paris.

[@tonimilic2322]

Li Fabin 61kg is a safe gold medal, if Shi Zhiyong is ready @ Paris that's another safe gold medal... It might be smarter to send Liu Huanhua 102kg cat instead of Li Dayin or Tao

[@johndoherty-hh2ck]

Even if Shi is ready it won’t be a cakewalk Rahmat has a dog in that fight.

[@isaiahkane9282]

He’s fckn pitbull bro straight savage w bar he don’t give af abt the weight

[@georgeognyanov]

Does anyone know if WH will stream the Europeans this year as well?

[@johndoherty-hh2ck]

I hope so. WH commentary adds to the vid. Interestingly enough the US is lifting at the Europeans this year as they are passing on the Pan Ams due to the political situation in Venezuela. February should be a good month for lifting fans as the continentals are all one right after each other thru the month.

[@johndoherty-hh2ck]

You got good eyes Danilo that’s Sein loading the squat rack to do his favorite exercise; a legit 400 kg Olympic depth squat. No power squatters need apply.

[@cheeks7050]

The legend

[@adamyoung9283]

The Chinese guys are low key watching him

[@srthyrdyjhy]

And then there is Jhonathan Rivas in the back!

[@johndoherty-hh2ck]

Rivas is one of my favorite lifters. I hope he makes the cut for Paris. He needs to find 7 kg to get into the top 10.

[@weightlifting2703]

I know hom he is classic

[@drip369]

Yoooooo

[@adrianyang2192]

Look at his calf muscles when he jerks, theres sum weird shit poking out

[@elizabethbanda5834]

a lot of people actually have that on their calve or closer to their ankle lol. You just have not noticed i guess. I have one myself

[@johndoherty-hh2ck]

What are you talking about Adrian, calf muscle or tats?

[@roncaruso931]

His return thanks to more roids.

EVERYONE @ the elite level use gear. The work rate and recovery needs assistance. Don't kid yourself being naive about this sport.

[@gregy1570]

i LOVE it when an asian lifter will gut-out a world record lift, then let the weight fall, then bow, and walk off the stage; while a south american, after making a 6th-place lift, slams the bar down, flexes, screams and shouts, jumps up and down, dances, and acts like a chimp
