Ilya Ilin London 2012 Olympics

Here are some nice recordings of Ilya’s lifts as seen from the audience (by @EamonnFlanagan).

Love the atmosphere. People will talk about these lifts for decades.

Bar Path Slowmo of the 185kg Snatch

Scenes from the streets of Kazakhstan

And another one from the training hall.

165kg Snatch. This would lend itself to some Kinova bar path action.

Update: gif with bar path, slower gif

Update: 160kg Snatch with Bar Path Slow Motion

    Ilya! Champion! Ilya! Champion! Ilya! CHAMPION! (what people greeting him at the airport chanted post Paris 2011)

    Why was his coach so restrained this time? I was hoping he’d rush to the platform and jump on him like he did in Beijing.

      Tension between Ilya and the Kazakh weightlifting coaches after he caught “Olympic Champion’s disease” post-Beijing.

        No. That’s why he changed coaches to his present one. His current coach is a friend and took him on after beijing.
