Lotta big name lifters so far. Hopefully this list, or at least something near it becomes final.
Wasn’t aware of Godelli’s return! Markov also back in the mix. Albegov vs. Talakhadze will be the one I’m looking most forward to, though.
I really did not expect such a nice turn up after the olympics. Hopefully everybody shows up and we can see a great EWC!
I agree I though EWC last year was good despite some names missing this one looks great espcially if the russians come in good shape!
As Grobpote said, a great list of names. The new women’s categories look like they will be well worth it!
Good to see Zoe Smith will be back on the international stage and Rebekah Tiler hopefully will bring another medal for GBR.
Also the 94s should be good with Didzbalis and Maligov and great to see Zygimantis Stanulis post such a high entry total. Three of my favourites to watch!
And the 105+ too should be great! I think potentially we could see the snatch world record fall again Lasha looked good for more at olympics hopefully he comes in good condition.
Just realized Daniyar is not on the list. Oh man, that kind of sucks.
Any indication on whether there will be any way to watch B sessions? Perhaps EasyWL will be covering them?
Really looking forward to this now!
Don’t think so. EasyWL hasn’t been doing anything in the past year. If I get good LTE I’ll live stream some.
http://www.easywl.com/results/
Of course I don’t know if this will eventually show videos of the lifts (as previously done), but at least they’re alive again.
Rumours say they didn’t take Bedzhnayan’s coach to training camps. Like Kuznetsov thinks he is finished
Off subject:
YouTube Olympic channel
Did you see this? It has only 960 hit as of today. “Oscar Figueroa: A Colombian Hero’s Final Salvation | Against All Odds”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiTshXi7OIw.
hey guys any idea where i can stream this championship?
The A sessions will be broadcast by Eurosport. You can watch via the Eurosport player:
eurosportplayer.com
There may be some pirate streams that you can watch for free but the quality won’t be as good.
The B sessions will be streamed free on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsec6pxTN2F5AF-Gq8qDEdA
Both of these are blocked in NA ;( Which country should I route through to watch? Thanks!
If you set your vpn to Ireland or UK it should work and send you to the English language version of the Eurosport site. Other EU countries will work too but you the site will probably be in their respective languages.
The Eurosport player here only has a daily (wtf) or yearly subscription. Boo.
Eurosport 1 on TV is free but they show many classes live only on 2, which is pay tv.
The website shows a monthly sub for €6.99 on my end.
You can get free high quality (720p+) feeds via acestreams, but most likely only in Russian.
Can’t find 56A on Eurosport 1 or 2 :/ Am I watching the wrong streams? Shouldn’t it be going on right now? Thanks!
Nevermind it’s finally going. They just blacked some of it out. Stream I’m using: http://www.time4tv.me/2016/02/british-eurosport.php
Just saying, http://freecalcio.eu/eurosport-2-live-stream, as of 11 AM CDT in US.
PS
The new rule sucks IMO but we will get used to it.
In Addition from the old entry ladies list
Best
69 Kg Ladies: Anastasiia Romanova,240 Kg
Best 75 Kg Ladies: Iryna Dekh, 250 Kg Best 90 Kg: Anastasiia Hotfrid and Diana
Mstieva tie at 240 kg
90+: Tatiana Kashirina 290 Kg but next is Anastasiia Lysenko at 265 Kg
Basically about 25 Kg change in body weight for a change of 25 Kg in total
(12.5 per snatch or clean).
This is just a waste of time IMO and the result of pressure by IOC to increase
number of ladies in Olympics.
I kind of like the new rule, but I’m relatively new to the scene, so why do you think it’s bad? I understand it will probably lead to more failed lifts, but at the same time it will take the bitter taste out of the mouths of fans whose favorite lost on bodyweight. Also, doesn’t this rule now reflect the way world records are achieved (first come, first serve)?
I subscribed to Eurosport Player but they don’t even show the 56A or 62A sessions live, pretty weak stuff
Eurosport….. I hate you
These f***ing idiots are showing a RERUN, a RERUN of f***ing SNOOKER over a live weightlifting championships.
******************* morons
You might be on the wrong channel. Just now I watched the 56a and 48a rerun, with 62a starting in less than half an hour. I’m watching UK Eurosport 1 (I think there are a bunch of variations)
Here in Norway they’re not broadcasting the 62A until midnight, not sure where 56A went. It’s a very lackluster streaming service
🙁 I hate how hard it is to find these. I’ve been skipping around different streams online because they all show different things, despite belonging to the same network
I also saw snooker and 56 started near the end of snatch. And 62 class according to the schedule will be an hour later than should be
Is 62 going to be live? Is it on your schedule?
It was going to be live, but what I saw was another snooker replay…
Hey! Whats the address to the competition place? Do they sell tickets from the door?
Alright, now Eurosport is just trolling…
They cut for commercials with the final lift of Sezer left, so we didn’t get to see that live either.
They just couldnt show us the final and most important lift, and THEN show their goddamn commercials during the 10 minute break?
Is Eurosport not manned by human beings? Is it run by a computer?
Did 56kg Croitoru ROU have a dislocation/injury? It wasn’t shown and the scoreboard says one failed snatch then retired.
I don’t remember seeing a dislocation.
Is there a typo in the “Next event” box or is there now a 59 kilo class for men 😛

Karumor is uploading them in a very nice 1080p HD quality.
Dumitru Captari made 160+200 in 77B class. WTF?
Yeah i just watched that stream. Gnarly as hell. Would be extremely surprised if he doesn’t medal
But that increase looks suspicious, isn’t it?
He did 155/195 in 2014 and 156/192 in 2016 so 160/200 isn’t a completely unprecedented result.
This page provide all the links for the streaming you need for Europeans.

Unhappy they red-lighted that third C&J from Karapetyan. Looked absolutely fine to me and the judges should have known about the dislocation at Rio. He pointed to his elbow before and after the fucking lift. Would have given him a great feeling going 6/6 to get back into things.
Anybody see what happened to Ivan Markov? Bombed his snatch and didn’t enter the clean and jerk? Was he injured?
did not seem injured as far as I can tell
He has been recovering from a knee injury (and maybe operation?) for the past couple months
WTF Ivan… Big ups to Pielieshenko, though!
I feel for the poor Croatian lifter – it was really mean to take away his last cnj in front of the home crowd.
Cal Strength finally got someone into Euros

Thanks for all the excellent coverage Gregor et al.!
Is there an update as to how serious Aleksanyan’s wrist injury was?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bfc6969392abe14c294a6d2fbcb3ff9d3748a7f316489f8dba0a10b5b2ae681a.jpg
well he was willing to take a picture today on the way home in the airport, his forearm was whole in a bandage, it is definitely not nothing I think, but don´t think it is too serious either
Oleg Chen, cannot C&J to save his life. That is why he will never be a world champion, unless the Asians do not show and at this rate, the American Junior world champion will beat him too no matter what Chen can snatch. He needs to find a 190 kilo C&J soon.
In the audience I saw Anastasia Hotfrid (*1996), who represents Georgia but is from Ukraine, sitting next to Denis Hotfrid (*1975), the former 105 world champ. I wondered for some time if the name was just coincidence or if she’s his daughter. To my surprise they’re married!
