The Italian strategy to qualify for the Olympics makes for great edge-of-the-seat viewing. But it is such a gamble, with the team all opening with weights almost at their max (or literally at their max) just to try to wedge themselves into the top-10. It's an emotional rollercoaster for the athletes and the viewers. When they hit the lift, it's such an exhilarating moment, but when they miss, it's so heartbreaking. But I respect the gamble and the team's commitment to the strategy.

No athlete is in good health. They have to keep pushing the human boundries otherwise they can not become World Class.

In my humble opinion, I think she should have bumped DOWN to 79 for her first, as that would have given her the confidence needed by winning the silver (we all knew she didnt have a shot at gold) and then she would have been able to try 83-86 and figure out the C&J after. Me and my wife came to that session just to watch her and felt her pain😢 hope she bounces back soon

If she and her coaches can live with bombing at Europeans because her emphasis is 100% on qualifying for Paris that’s their business. Early in the quad before he had qualified Massida missed opening snatch went up 3 kg missed again went up 2 kg and succeeded. Not every athlete or coach can operate so precariously but that’s for them to decide.

If she had participated in the clean and jerk, she would have gotten a silver medal easily. The silver medalist in her weight class lifted 96 ish. Giulia can easily clean & jerk over 100kg.

Can someone explain to me the qualifing rules? Why did she started as high as that? What is that about the top 10? Thanks!

I'm sure she'll make comeback in Thailand. She's obviously strong enough. But I can't help but think all the recent online interest in the Italian team has led to a lack of focus.

You’re somewhat right but Lu Xiaojun grew in popularity near the 2012 Olympics and is still popular but he was still focused on his craft which was proved when he won in Tokyo(even with his recent popping) I think it’s a weak excuse about her or the Italians not having focus when Pizzolato and Massida are still performing well(Nasar is too strong for Antonino but Nino is still a threat and Massida is performing very very well although he’s not winning excessively)

I kept noticing a slight tilt in her right hip and then subsequently her stance went out of balance all three times, I think she can do the weight but she needs to make a slight adjustment.
