the womens 49kg is meant to have started and i cant find it anywhere

I can't either and I have access to like 8 channels showing various events. It's only the B group so maybe they're not televising it?

There seems to be no audio on Women's 49kg Group B - this isn't just me, is it?

I just had the lifters and live audio - no commentary too. I assume they'll have the full for the medals later.

Aw, no commentary on Men's 61kg? Too bad, last night's commentary was great. Hopefully they bring it back for the 67kg later tonight.

he kept walking with it. I would white light that but I can see why they thought he didn't demonstrate control over the bar. it's far better than many of the pressout calls this session.

Zhihui Hou has been asked to remain in Tokyo by the anti doping officials. Not a good sign.

I missed the finals last night but will rewatch today.

I don't know if I'd call intentionally stating a weak total a bad set of circumstances; some lifters do that so they can lift at their own pace and do numbers they know they can with less nerves. That's what the 73kg lifter did, knowing there would likely be a fierce battle that would make him have to rest unpredictable times.

My assumption was that a weaker lifter would sneak in if a set of lifters bombed out due to strategy etc. I didn't consider the strategy behind stating a low total then blowing it away under less pressure.

It has happened before (I think world's in like 2013 or something), but session B of lifters who legit belong in session B is generally a session of athletes who are outlifted by warmups of 8 people. It has to be a very tight pack, and that requires a setting like World championships where everyone's present and flying.

Makes sense



awwww yessss here we go! good to be back
