W-64kg IWF World Cup 2024 | Full Session

[@davidtatro7457]

I just absolutely love watching these sessions of non-Olympic category lifters. We get to see athletes who are maybe 2nd tier or whatever, but they get a chance to compete on an international stage, maybe for the first time, and we get to watch some gorgeous lifts and see these athletes just have great success. I think it's absolutely wonderful.

[@davidtatro7457]

Gillian Barry's save on that 3rd snatch attempt, wow.

سلام ،لطفا مسابقات زنان المپیک پاریس رو بذار تا نگاه کنیم ،،ممنونم🙌

[@wzhang318]

Clearly, North Korea has super weight lift players. They are much much better than competitors.

Maybe controversial opinion: The non-Olympic categories kind of suck to watch, because there is so much less on the line, and the athletes are generally not near the level of the others (except for DPRK). I wish they would reduce and adjust the categories. As having 10 categories per gender is kind of wack and the current M55 and W45 categories can definitively be removed. Something like 49, 56, 63, 71, 78, 86 and 86+ on the women's side and 61, 69, 77, 86, 95, 105 and 105+ on the men's side would make more sense, because then we could possibly have all classes be included in the Olympic Games (assuming the IWF-IOC relationship actually gets better).

[@JohnDoherty-dl2fz]

Dude you hit the nail on the head. It’s asinine for weightlifting to have 10 weight classes but only 5 in the Games. It was only back in 2016 all classes went in. Rot in hell Tomas Ajan. I like increasing gap between weight classes as you go up as well. The 89-96-102-109 sequence is especially whacked. When I competed it was 90-110 and then 90-100-110. A guy could be a 96 before lunch go to an all you can eat buffet and skip right over the 102s.

[@AdStellae-]

@@JohnDoherty-dl2fz Yep, the current gaps also don't make any sense, anyhow. The gaps betwen 61, 67 and 73 are 6 kg, but then from 73 to 81 you jump 8 kg? Then another 8 to 89 which makes sense, but then only 7 kg to 96? and then just 6 kg from 96 to 102???

[@ultraL2]

The amount of weight classes aren’t related to Olympics 7kg gap between women is huge & you’d just have a bunch of B C and even D classes

[@AdStellae-]

@@ultraL2 I'm aware, that's the issue. 49, 55, 61, 68, 75, 82, 82+ then. At Worlds? Sure, but we have that anyway.

[@harrymiles2652]

It's unfortunate that the stakes are way lower in the non-Oly categories, cuz yeah I'd agree, that makes the overarching storyline less exciting. However, to play devil's advocate, I'm only part of the way through the snatches as I write - just watched Thornton's last attempt - and goddamnit a lot of the lifts themselves are incredible. The control they're all showing to make sure they don't miss these lifts is amazing. Now imagine watching the men's -89 if it weren't an Olympic category and you're watching miss after miss after miss. THAT would suck

[@ironray123]

I still haven't gotten an answer to the question I posted a while ago. What happens if the lifter has the weight overhead and loses control and runs forward with it and dumps it on the middle judge?

[@JohnDoherty-dl2fz]

If the judge catches it and returns the bar to the platform without any contact with the exterior floor, it is a good lift.

[@ramram4194]

🎉

[@cheeks7050]

A little fast off the floor

[@coyoteando5651]

no es que as europeas no sean buenas en las categorias de menos de 50 kgs, simplemente no hay

[@girlfromlacounty]

Kenyan lifter is in the wrong sport, she should be a high jumper or a volleyball player

[@davidtatro7457]

Also, l finally just have to say that the music at this competition absolutely was terrible, snd the fact that they looped the same awful music between every athlete in every session for days on end.... How could you guys even stand it?

[@PieroRosselli]
