Chinese Olympic Trials-69kg Class

[RandomStevie]

This competition is probably harder than the Olympics.

[TrueRahf]

Liao Hui won't be competing until 2014, due to a suspension for banned substances.

[sakelee]

nearly got 3x his body weight...

[countrylifterdw]

the power jerk is my favorite form

i miss the split snatch too

[51674]

liao hui is almost as strong as me lol

[ChinaNite89]

@51674 You must be kidding me. Are you a world class weightlifter?

[guishuheshang]

lol, zhang guozheng @2:23 is saying some really bad words... well, why not...

[zodawg0079]

I noticed a lot of the Chinese lifters seem to prefer the squat jerk. I find it too unstable.

[m1kasd]

you have to have super good flexibility to do it, in my opinion its superior if you develop it properly.

[hh87]

liao hui is ridiculously strong..

[robertcassiday]

well arn't they some strong basters.

[Aliks96]

Do you have the 62 kg class?

[ErNBuRn1]

great vid amazing technique

[Sarge343]

Zhang's failed lift kinda reminded me of Dimas. Zhang is such a great lifter and this could be his chance to go to the olympics and get a medal. He made an easy-as-hell clean but fell down under the weight. Hope he still competes in world championships next year.

That's the risk with drop/power jerks... if you get in the sweet spot you will rorar ou of the lift, off by an inch and you fail.

[chiefwr88]

close on the 198, but i still think boevskis total record is safe.

[Sarge343]

Wouldn't exactly call it "close"...

[slimjamie1991]

@chiefwr88 not anymore. ;)

[chiefwr88]

@slimjamie1991

liao hui totaled 358 (160+198)

boevski totaled 358.5 (162.5+196)

record books dont show it, but boevskis still king, although hui will probably total 360 soon

[slimjamie1991]

@chiefwr88 thanks for correcting me I didn't know that. yeah I think Liao will do 360 soon too.

[trance4mation]

if i remember correctly in beijing, it was the weight division right above this one that the chinese didnt get gold in right, but pretty much they got gold in all the weight divisions under 84kg right

[TheBiggestDouche]

yes

[FUZZYisBIG]

56, 62... i think they lost the 69s or 77s, and the 85s, but the heavier divs are the domain of big european loggers.

[trance4mation]

lu yong got gold in the 85kg division, the mens 77kg division was the only division the chinese didnt get gold but li hongli managed to get silver though, pretty much all the divisions under 85kg for men and women, the chinese got gold in

[FUZZYisBIG]

Thanks for that mate! Some North Korean guy won the 77's?

[trance4mation]

south i believe lol
