2018 Asian Games Weightlifting *No Team China*

It’s time for one of the best weightlifting competitions of the year.

The 2018 Asian Games!

When: 20-27.08.2018

Remember the 2014 Asian Games and the crazy number of world records (nine!) set there? While I don’t expect a repeat of those performances, this should be a badass competition.

Entry List. The final start list will be posted a couple of days before competition starts.

China is on the list although they haven’t had their country ban reduced yet (like Turkey, Azerbeijan and Armenia before Junior Worlds). Maybe there is an announcement in the next days.

Update: China will not compete! (via)

But great to see Kim Myong Hyok is back!
