Meanwhile in Colombia …
Just a couple of weeks after his 165kg snatch in training, 18 year old Yeison Lopez hits 170kg!
He still has some time left as a junior. Enough to challenge Taner Segir’s 172kg (172.5kg) junior snatch world record?

Love this guy’s lifting! If he’s not the best 77kg in Pan American history in 5 years ill eat my hat. I cant think of another 77kg [or commiserate weight class] aside from Aranda & Lara?
Taner Sagir’s Junior WR snatch is here: https://youtu.be/KL28yM6a3DA
(the above video shows his unsuccessful lift in 2008!)
Thank you Doctor!
Had so many Taner Segir tabs open and ended up copying the wrong URL.
