i'd guess that sa could probably clean up to 220k given enough tries. sadly he can't jerk even 213k. probably my favorite current 77 if he's still competing.
@Napolian757 Kendrick Farris ?? Who the hell is that?? This the 77 kg class. Before 1992 it was called the 75 kg class and the world record in the clean and jerk in that class was 215 kg by Varabanov!! Now thats a lifter!!
whoa. the flexibility and contraction required to pause at the bottom of those snatches, at that weight too... unimaginable to mortals like me. great vid.
met him in new zealand last year where he was at a training camp with the korean team. he's a nice guy, definitely stands apart from the other korean lifters. doesnt talk as much but he seems to get a lot of respect.
This is not a very popular sport in Korea, but Sa, along with Park Tae Hwan are going to be inspiration to many Korean youngsters in the competitive edge.
I cant wait to see him in the 2012 olympics. He was also lighter than the other competitors, so hopefully he puts on a few more pounds, and breaks that record. Also, does anyone know what kind of knee and wrist wrap he was using?
This guy has incredible balance

The end of the competition would have been more exciting if Li Hongli hadn't wasted his third attempt by repeating his missed attempt.
