    I like how Guifang smashes world records and she has the same enthusiasm as I when I'm sitting in a bus.

    As a guy who competed and had two 6 for 6 days in my life it is mind boggling to me that Reeves had four of them in a row at the highest level of competition. Good luck at Paris Olivia.

    I wonder how much geo-politics matters in these team selection decisions. Like is China sending Liao Guifang a risk not just because she may be beaten, but beaten by the USA?

    That would be a NO. China is always conservative with their athletes capabilities, only focusing on posting a total to win. Imagine if they cut them loose.

    Super exciting weight class. Olivia reeves is just so unpredictable (in a good way), but at the same time, perhaps guifang could just pop off - i bet she could pull out some crazy numbers if she needed to qualify

    Honestly Guifang needs to improve her total if she wants to go to the Olympics. While she leads by 11kg. Olivia Reeves has totaled around 96% of her total. The lowest of any Chinese female lifter in comparison to the second ranked across all olympic categories. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Reeves, Toma or Dejomes take a stab at world record snatch (or a 270 total). I definitely expect Guifang to break her record total. Toma needs guifang not be selected if she wants to get a medal.

    None of these so called powerhouse and eye candy in Europe will medal when guifang and reeves lift their minds out. They looked like amateurs against these reeves and guifang

    I dont think Toma can be a top contender as long as she has the Toma shuffle in her jerk.

    I agree she has never clean and jerked 140 in competition. At Europeans this year she only managed a 127kg clean and jerk after missing 130 twice. She came 4th in the Clean and jerk (not including Olivia Reeves who couldn't medal at Europeans). Angie Dejomes, Olivia Reeves and Liao Guifang have all managed to hit 140 before (albeit Angie Dejomes has only made 140 once). Toma doesn't have a great shot at winning a medal unless Guifang isn't selected, or she fixes her clean and jerk.
