Albegov's 198 looked like a 2nd or 3rd attempt, might've started too high.

[breathinglife]

if only someone played deadmau5 at the meets i compete in -_-.

Have they played music at the past Olympics?

Yeah, hopefully just nerves. He's done 210 recently.

[jodalife]

Did Steiner go out in injury? Missed it...

He dropped 196 on the back of his neck.

[feces99]

that frekin korean dude got it high enough, whyyyyyyyyyyy didnt he go under

[jodalife]

He dropped 196 on the back of his neck.

Ok, so yeah. He's out.

Klokov, Akhaev, Steiner... Allah has blessed these Iranians.

[jb4476]

Turmandzi's snatches all looked extremely strong. so did Albegov's first two so far. Salimi's 201 didn't look as easy as Albegov's 204.

[breathinglife]

NICE Snatch from Albegov. Looked easier than the first.

[jodalife]

Behdad killing it...

[chigiskov]

Albegov pulling through!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jb4476]

Well, we won't see a Soviet record fall today, but Salimi's 205 was strong. He'll be the leader after the snatch, but that was expected anyway.

EDIT: Damn...that 208 from Albegov. He looks like he could go up all day long.

[feces99]

i have to give it to the iranians, they have matured a lot

[BadSnatch]

Stream keeps dying damn it.

Nope, Albegov is leading on bodyweight. EDIT: You edited before I responded, hah.

[jb4476]

Nope, Albegov is leading.

Oh yeah. Salimi just took 208 as well. But he's bigger. I expected him to take more to lead after the snatch. Guess he didn't want to risk it.

[feces99]

holy christ albegov is 20k less than salimi?!

[jodalife]

It really looked easier for him though, Salimi looked very confident.

[jb4476]

holy christ albegov is 20k less than salimi?!

Dude Salimi is like 6'6 LOL.

[jb4476]

Sooooooooooo...is Steiner coming out for the C+J? How is he even alive?

EDIT: Saw Steiner is DNF.

[breathinglife]

Wow that stupid horn chant is so annoying.

[feces99]

Wow that stupid horn chant is so annoying.

at least they dont have those ****ing vuvuzelas

[breathinglife]

at least they dont have those ****ing vuvuzelas

Haha, yeah.


Hopefully either Albegov makes Salimi uncomfortable enough that he has to push it a lot...
-or-

Salimi pushes so far ahead that he can go for broke on his last CJ attempt like Ilya did.

[breathinglife]

Olympics results (which updates live) says Steiner is out.

[jb4476]

Haha, yeah.

But Ilya was a C+J specialist...Salimi's a snatch guy. The snatch phase was supposed to be his opportunity to get some kilos over his opponents.

Yeah, that's correct.

Isn't Salimi's best CJ 250? I always here that he did some huge amount in Iranian competitions, but I have yet to see a video or even contest results listed online.

I was thinking maybe he's made some huge progress since he is opening at 251. That seems a lot for him.

[feces99]

Yeah, that's correct.

Wow, yeah. If he can make that opener look like an opener it means his C+J has made a lot of progress.
