Akkaev Back in!

[breathinglife]

EDIT:
No follow through on this possibility. Both Akkaev and Klokov are out.
Maybe a mod can change the title.

[schabowy90]

Just saw this. Hooray!!!!!!!

No tears, only dreams now

Still...klokov . It's ok this makes it better

Akkaev: But, honestly, I have little doubt tormented, which may bring health. And as luck would have it a premonition proved prophetic. In the worst possible moment got out a hernia, I was urgently hospitalized and had surgery because I have not fully felt the leg, that is, it was very bad. British doctors insisted that it’s urgent to do.

Interviewer:*It didn’t bother you prior to your arrival in London?

Akkaev:*It is because of the intensification that happened here. In the pre-Olympic training camp at the Chekhov I felt satisfactory, but here I have completely deteriorated.

Interviewer:*Large load?

Akkaev:*Of course. Soreness is typical in our sport. Injuries to the joints, back, are common. Just someone they are “appropriate” time of shoot, and some, like me … *[don't know what he meant here] And I, for example, was worth a gold medal Olympic Games. But what to do?

Interviewer:*You were planning to retire after winning in London. What do you think now?

Akkaev:*Life goes on. Now I’m focused on the Olympics 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, although after the Games was ready to retire. My ambition leaped, of course, I will win two more world championships with world records, and then the Olympic Games in 2016.

Interviewer:*How until you are recovered?

Akkaev:*I was told that I have to under go rehabilitation for*at least six months.*Maybe even a year. But do not worry. A year or two later I will be fine.

Interviewer:*Olympic champion Svetlana Podobedova*from Kazakhstan *said she cried when she watched the Beijing Olympics. She knew that you would have won …

Akkaev:*I will not cry, but I will understand that I gave someone a gold medal. And I, and Dmitry Klokov. I think that we have invested a lot of work. His great merit is that I have progressed this way, and my, perhaps, that he showed himself well. Therefore, on his behalf I would like to know … (pause) to apologize anyway to our country. We have deprived our country of gold and silver medals. In any case, the two have shared this story. It turns out that it happens sometimes.

Interviewer:*How can there be an apology? You did not ask the doctors specifically to do the operation, the situation was serious.

Akkaev:*If I had the slightest opportunity to go out and fight, I would have done it. But when you have a leg that does not work, have no chance to think about … In fact, stood on the scales of my health, and an Olympic medal. Nevertheless, I wanted to go out and perform. Simply put, and I was operated on urgently. Even against my will, in fact.*I asked not to be removed in the case That I would suddenly feel better. If I feel good, then maybe I’ll try.

I'm still hoping Klokov is back in as well, and this entire thing has been some sort of charade to shake the other lifters' mentality or something. The only thing is, that doesn't really make sense since Klokov and Akkaev don't really have anyone that they should be too worried about anyway.

Fuark I like Udachin! Another 210/250 guy gone! Besides Albegov and possibly Steiner that was Salimi's only competition!

This is pretty fuking confusing!

[jb4476]

I seriously have no idea what is going on and am starting to wonder if the Russians are trying to create as much mass confusion as possible? Is Klokov having issues with the Russians own internal drug testing that Akkaev isn't having? Was Akkaev actually badly injured or was he just having problems with the internal testing that have now been resolved? There hasn't been any further word about Klokov at all. The suspense and confusion is killing me.

[fraverdenstreet]

it's a giant mind game to mentally **** over Dolega

[thejdeck]

Thinking about having to deal with this sort of mess in the future convinced me to retire from the sport

10 hours until the weigh in, and both men are still on the start list. **** this pins and needles ****.

I wonder if people who have tickets are aware Akkaev/Klokov have announced they're pulling out? If one of them shows I expect a thunderous deafening cheer. I'd be going wild if Akkaev shows up. (will be yelling at my laptop)

Do we know how to find out who is going/went to the weigh in? Or just wait until the event tonight?

When you see the planned opener snatch/CJ on the list

It'll be a few more hours. Even the B's openers aren't up yet.

The bookmakers have Marcin Dolega at 4/6. Very unlikely the Russians will be lifting.

this is the only post that you have made here that actually makes sense

it's a very good point, bookmakers are ALWAYS on top of this ****. I am still hoping for a miracle though.

they may always be on top of things, but according to whom? i'm not doubting you, just playing devil's advocate, but suppose they are being fed the same info those of us following are?

[jodalife]

Anyone has a stream for this? Schedule says group B is up now... the only thing my TV is showing is fuking horse riding.

Same here, it says live, but everything except weightlifting is on!

oh yeah, it's not 100% and with such an obscure sport like weightlifting, there is a chance that they are just getting the same info that we are.

or maybe they know something like akkaev might compete, but he really is hurt. 4/6 odds are like they are super sure that Dolega is gonna win the thing anyways.

B group is on right now

Just look for weightlifting on the schedule

[tfk44]

I'm really surprised they put the Ecuadorian guy in Group B. He's a monster and basically had to follow himself for all of his lifts at the end. A 185 snatch in Group B?

But only a 200 c & j, makes that decision have more sense

came in to post this, lol

his jerk needs work

[ledinred2]

He did like 190/215 at the Pan Ams but maybe he's been having issues in training which caused them to lower his entry total to B group level. He didn't look good on the C&J and appeared to be somewhat hurt.

Looked like he almost passed out on that last attempt and his right knee looked tweaked. Shame, he's one of my favorite lifters. 6'4" is ridiculous.

[pursuitofone]

guise the Russians are making like their top boys arnt competing then betting heavily on them now that there odds are super low...boom gold and silver and lots of money...

right????


please be right...

[dlt76028]

They're both still on the roster.
