Kudos to Weightlifting House for continuing to bring superb coverage to the sport that nobody else has yet matched. As a former competitor in the 1960s and 70s, I look forward to your videos. I competed in the 9th Maccabi Games in Israel in 1973 (gold medal, 90k class) and remain in touch with one of my teammates who still competes in the master's division (he just won the recent national championship). I miss competing, but orthopedic issues at age 75 preclude me from doing so. Today, it's cycling and bodybuilding movements.

In Olympic weightlifting, the "Sinclair" refers to the Sinclair coefficient or formula, which is used to compare the performances of athletes across different weight categories. Since weightlifters of different body weights cannot be directly compared based on their total lifts alone, the Sinclair formula adjusts for body weight to provide a normalized score. This way, it can determine who has the best performance regardless of their weight class. The Sinclair coefficient applies a mathematical factor based on the athlete’s body weight to adjust their total lifts (the sum of the best snatch and clean & jerk). The result is the "Sinclair Total," which allows comparison between lifters of different weight categories on an equal basis.

Do you know why the women have significantly lower average sinclair than the men? If it also accounts for you sex? Or is just not meant to compare athletes from different sexes? Would be cool to be able to compare men and women. Personally it's baffling to me as a woman to see men around my bw lift frekin 200 kg. I just cannot comprehend it how cool that is
@zerog42612 ай бұрын
@@dorakrznaric2458 yeah, wondered why there was a big gap myself. You'd think if sex was taken into accout it would even itself up. Unless as you say, its not taken into consideration. For the record, i find it mind blowing watching women lift as well. Truly remarkable

About 1:53, Karlos has already snatched 185kg on competition but it's not considered official, if we add that number to that official 224kg c&j WR - he beats Rizki's 355kg score by Sinclair. Karlos's going to add just a kg to beat his own WR everytime and stay relevant. God knows how much kg Karlos lifts at training, only he and his team knows. But yeah, his achilles injury tells he's lifting large numbers.

I used to go to the same gym as Kamil when he'd first stopped competing. The feeling was he was a bit washed up and honestly I found him insufferable. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined the comeback he was about to make. It's a shame that the form he managed to whip up for the qualification period didn't last.

If it's harder than ever to make the Olympics, and athletes have to set mininum weights based on qualifying totals, then how was Kamil Kucera allowed to open with 100/120 in the men's 102+ in Paris?

Love the news. Can we get a video on why China has had restrictions put on how many athletes they can send, how the decision was informed, and why it matters?
@WeightliftingHouse2 ай бұрын
Hey! Good question. China didn’t have a restriction, all countries had a restriction of three men and three women. It feels like China had a restriction because they had women in the top 10 in all 5 categories and men in 4. But the same was true for other teams, for example the USA women had weightlifters in all 5 categories too but could only send 3. As to why the restriction on the sport it has more to do with Olympic politics, which sports are in favour with the IOC etc.

The classic misunderstanding of median and average. Saying "I'm 31 now, it's not gonna happen" because you're not in the middle, when you can range all the way from 18 to 34 IF the ages are evenly spread, although if there's a lot of 18 year olds, you could be up to 40 or whatever. Just like we saw with the oldest athlete being 39,39 years old, just underlined my random guess. Never stop believing because you read data poorly! Stop believing because you don't believe in your own abilities! What I think is important about looking at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd snatch and c&j's is being able to zoom out from the blind data and zoom in on every individual competition. The competition itself dictates so much your attempts if you have certain opponents and goals versus your capacity. If something specific happens, you react to it.
