Right there with you man!! Solfrid & Kuo Hsing-chun ❤❤❤

Max was a savage when they were saying whatever the one athlete was taking was working 😂 wasn’t ready

Damn the -81kg Olympic category is going to be insane

Since I started watching and subscribed to this channel during the Covid yrs I’ve become a massive weightlifting fan. I may even join a club and compete in a masters competition.

1:41:12 Bar FULLY airborne. God DAMN there is some power there!

Thanks Max and Seb for your amazing work

Koanda Solfrid is years ahead of this competition

The decore design in this competition series in Armenia was so on point I cannot being myself to watch other competitions for a month or so!!!

I have a new interest n the W-87kg weightlifting. Thanks to Solfrid.

Solfrid Koanda only weights 83,9kg and she competed on -87 .Kinda imagined why she didn't competed on -81 once for Olympics Quotes

@@007rosin this was 2 weeks ago. most weightlifters lay somewhere between 500g to 1 kilo above their competition weight just a week or days before competition. so in 8 weeks she would have to lose 2 kilos, and then do a bit of a water cut. i think that's manageable.

I really enjoy your videos and comments. Keep up the good work!

Yes. Supposedly she has had some tendency toward muscular hypertrophy since childhood. However, she also did quite a bit of Crossfit in her teens.

@@jahuti5065 That's kind of what I was basing it off and presuming she's natural or relatively natural because of. There was actually this girl in my highschool that seemed to have a similar strength deviation. It's not even a testosterone/masculinity thing, it seems like. Like it's even more of a strength tendency than men with much higher testosterone. Has nothing to do with height or weight or race or whatever either, just a glitch in the matrix. Ex. Jen Thompson.

The world standard for the snatch in the men 55kg seems really high aswell, considering the world record in 56kg category was 139kg.

was just watching the mens 73. great surprise

Gonna keep commenting this because I don't want this sport to die: Kick out the press out. To hell with juries and judges, nobody cares about a 2mm arm flicker for Christ's sake.

Completely agree. I don't mind them being fussy about the snatch as it's sort of the whole point of the lift to do it in one go, but the C&J is all about how much you can get over your head and in truth a "press out" only makes the job harder so how the hell does it invalidate the lift? If you look at many of the great lifts of the past, most would not be allowed with modern judging.

Only 4 years lifting!? What was she before? A hammer thrower or shot putter?

She’s been muscular since she was a young child and i think she started strength training when she was 15, then did crossfit, before she moved to weightlifting in 2019/2020.

I thought the 87 kg women would start of with atleast 100kg in the snatch.😔

​​@@haroldpepete okay, but solfrid doesnt weigh 87kilos. She weighed in at 83.9 and is working her weight down. And the commentary was saying that it would be great to see her against the chinese athletes because they are pretty on par, or likely will be, and it will be a great competition between them.

Traps for days!

Are all of these women natural? For sure?

Ill bite. Koanda lives in Norway. Since the 80s there hasnt been any sport in Norway with more than the occasional positive drug test(usually at lower levels, or maybe a silly cross country skier used the wrong lip balm) Drug use is generally really looked down on in Norwegian society, and the use of anabolic steroids has been criminalized for the last 10 years. The Norwegian IWF affiliate receives little funding, and the athletes are not full time lifters. Its quite the different scenario versus many of the notorious drug using weightlifting powerhouses. Even as a hobbyist powerlifter I have had our Wada affiliated nado come to my house to drug test me several times. They are not messing around. But hey, you can go for the lazy, old "they are all on"..

​@@ev1bl Koanda is at the top of the world in terms of lifts after only 4 years of training. This is, fighting against countries like China who are known to have intensive PED campaigns even with children as young as 11 years old. Maybe Norwegian athletes in general are clean, but there is no chance in hell that Koanda is not abusing PEDs. That of course does not make her achievements any less impressive: all of her competition are using the same stuff she is. It is just a reality that her numbers are not achievable naturally. But man, she is a beast.

The eligibility of a competitor in terms of nationality is determined by whether they are legally a citizen of a certain country. You cannot, for instance, compete for France simply because you wear a beret, a striped (navy and white) shirt and carry a baguette under your arm. You have to actually be a citizen of France and if you are, then you can compete for France, regardless of your appearance. In fact, if you look at the UK team, you dan't see any fat, sunburned lager-louts singing "here we go, here we go", nor does the Italian team consist of short, hairy men who wave their arms about and sell ice cream. This is because they qualify through being citizens of their country rather than looking like some perceived archetype.
