Lyu Xiaojun V Mohamed Ehab | The Battle of Ashgabat
Спорт
It was one of the greatest battles ever seen on the international stage...
China's Lyu Xiaojun and Egypt's Mohamed Ehab clashed once again in the fight to become World Champion. This time the fight was at 81kg.
Re-live the fascinating back-and-forth between these two world-class weightlifters that took place at the 2018 IWF World Championships in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.

Ihab's power and hunger for glory should have let him achieving golden medal at Tokyo. I am feeling with deep sorrow and anger that he missed the participation in Tokyo.

Watching a lot of the Chinese lifters in their clean, they just stand up like nothing is there. It's just a thing of beauty. So smooth with everything. Another thing, this battle was made all the more epic by all the contrasts. Ehab and just power and yells and split jerk. Lu with just smooth movements and not much emotion plus squat jerk. So epic. Loved it! Great video IWF! Let's see some more like this.

I think in China they teach a different technique. They don't jump and step heavily on the floor when catch the bar, instead they "slide out", or like Lu and Shi they just lift their heel very quickly and put down. It is said this technique is better for stability and reduce the impact on the joints, which could also be a reason why Chinese weightlifter can still perform nicely at even their 30s.

@@j_nl7689 That's for sure, but beyond that (taking this video as an example), he used belts, double knee and wrist straps, and a tight suit. Lyu instead had the classic bands that help less than those Mohamed had as a second cover, the suit seemed a little less tight (at least in the leg area it seemed to me) and without the use of a belt. Thats triggered me so much even though there is actually no rule that prohibits these "tricks". So in this case Mohamed was extremely advantaged.
