Of 7 lifters in the A group, 16 of 21 snatch attempts were 200+. Sydney 2000 has got to be the closest, with 10 lifters in the A group, 17 of 30 were at 200+. 76% vs 57%. However Sydney has them beat in the clean and jerk, 20 of 30 attempts were 250+. There were 6 lifters attempting 260+! 5 lifters opened at 250, and all were successful! Kim Tae-Hyun jumped from 245 to 260, and made it! 2023 Worlds only had 7 attempts at 250+, and only 1 at 260. And the only successful ones were Lasha's 253 and unbelievably, Martirosyan's 250!

they should rename the "snatch, clean and jerk" to the "yeet, yank and yoink", seeing how much of a joke these supers make 200 kilos look like lmao.

[@graybollocks]

@alubchicken If this suggestion isn’t given the absolutely serious consideration by the IWF that it deserves, it is only proof that we live in a malicious universe. Although it does require replacing a century of “women’s snatch” jokes. “Women’s yeet” is a little too abstract. Although discussing the power of a man’s yank might be a partial substitute.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

Gor did well in his attempts. I was impressed. Lalayan held his own. Lasha is incredibly strong and there's a reason he's so good at what he does. I'm hoping all three go to the Olympics. But in the meantime I'm enjoying every competition. Since I'm relatively new I have learned that Gor used to lift for Armenia but now lifts for Bahrain. And Lesman Paredes is Columbian but now lifts for Bahrain as well. I don't recall Lesman lifting at World's? But there were some sessions that I missed and I'm working on catching up. Seb and Max did a great job as commentators. I'm hoping WH will be streaming more competitions between now and the Olympics. For now Max and Seb were probably glad to get back home and get some rest. Seb, Max and the WH team did a phenomenal job though.

[@jclips2098]

what amazes me about Lasha is his ability to carry weight we can’t see - what other lifter in the history of this sport (or any other strength sport, for that matter) has had such high expectations, shared by so many across the globe? I’m sure the IWF loves it, and they have no problem with him acting as a billboard for the biggest gambling company in his home country...

[@rsanghi24]

Exciting weight class.

[@cheeks7050]

IMO a 500kg total would be a way bigger legacy than olympic gold. Many win medals, no on has hit that total. I hope Lasha takes a run at it before he retires.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Especially as he would need more than 3 olympic wins to make a mark. Winning Paris would make him the sixth lifter to win 3 olympic golds. And Dimas has everyone beat by also having a bronze. I imagine Lasha won't want to go another quad. Hitting 500 is something only he can do, but the time may have past him by.

[@madworld109]

[@cliptomaniac2562]

I think its because he hurt himself recently. When the weights are this heavy there is not much room for error.

[@adamarato4662]

I believe his plan was always to make new world records so he can benefit more from those. Every single time when he broke the world record he got paid for it. If he would went all out once he wouldn’t earn that much. I still think he can do the mythical 500 total but I’m afraid that we might will never see it because of his age started to kick in or some injuries can sneak in the preparation. If I were Lasha I would do the 500 total and then I would retire.

[@billkenney2855]

These are great efforts by Lalayan and especially Minasyan, to push themselves. But honestly, there was never any chance of Either beating Lasha, and they do not yet merit consideration in such a light. Lasha is obviously just coasting here, just waiting to see how high he’ll need to go. He hit 220 pretty much as easily as his 208, and Gor just isn’t close to being able to do that. He isn’t close. Hopefully next year he can get it and maybe push Lasha even higher. But, barring injury or health problems, things have not changed. Lasha is King, going away. And he’s king even though he’s facing the strongest competition ever assembled at one time.

The point here is, Lasha should into next weight category and there is no. So he is in competition with lighter competitors. I suppose he use that advantage and makes just slightly over the other to keep be first and enough for a record, but not what he is capable to do. No athlete can compensate 10 kg of muscle mass, no way. All other competitors are according their body weight.

[@alistairwillock7266]

He can't do it following himself. It actually might have been possible in 2021, but only if he'd had more competition to help him space out the second and third lifts. Barring an absolutely incredible training cycle (ahem, in more ways than one) leading up to Paris, I think we'll have to wait for the _next_ once-in-a-generation lifter to come along to see a 500 kg total. Also, whoever that next great superheavy is, it'll probably have to be someone who can build their strength up while carrying a little lower bodyfat percentage than Lasha, and particularly less torso fat. The problem is that the levels of intra-thoracic fat that Lasha's needed to carry to get to this level have shortened his peak (because intra-thoracic fat is particularly conducive to raising insulin resistance, and all the follow-on effects that come with that). It's painful to watch him walk around now. He needs to get out of the sport and drop 50kg ASAP. Look at how Gor walks around, and you'll realize that his system handles being chonky far better than Lasha's does. Basically, it looks like we need weightlifting's version of Hafthor Bjornsson or Brian Shaw - an enormously-framed individual who moves well and who bulks without concentrating as much of it in the torso as Lasha or Zydrunas Savickas. Lasha has the frame, but not _quite_ the muscle-building genetics.
