Meanwhile at the 2015 European Championships …
17 year old Khetag Khugaev made his debut in Senior competition at this years 2015 European Championships, winning 3 silver medals. He weighed in at 92.56kg, 2.51kg heavier than when we last saw him in January at the 2015 Russian Cup.
He snatched a whopping 180kg & Clean and Jerked 219kg for a 399kg Total.
His results were: 172kg/176kg/180kg, 207kg/212kg/219kg, 399kg.
Recordings of the 94kg sessions are linked here.
Hookgrip Super Slow Motion
Great show, both Didzbalis and khugaev has improved, im bothered by that 189 snatch but he was good with 221 which i was suprised with, and ofc Khugaev making good progress, will be great to watch him vs that Kazakhs
Doesn’t look he cut weight give the 90-92 increase so he has another 6 or so kg of training weight and two more years as Junior. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes the JWR from Akkaev within that time.
Same sinclair as 17 year old ilyin!
Khugaev is still a little below the level of Ilyin on Sinclair at the same age. Ilyin’s 2005 Worlds 85kg Total 386(170+216) gives him a current Sinclair of 462.23, whilst Khugaev’s European Total is 458.24kg Sinclair. For those who might like to compare exact ages, Ilyin was four days younger than Khugaev when each made the Totals referred to above.
That comparison is based on the Sinclair when the lift was made. It gets adjusted each Olympic cycle.
