Meanwhile in Ukraine …
Here is London 2012 Bronze medalist (in 58kg) Yuliya Kalina (now 63kg) Snatching 111kg at the Ukrainian National Championships.
With this lift she set a new national record, which was previously held by 2004 Olympic champion Nataliya Skakun, who now coaches Yuliya.
At the 2014 World Championships she will compete against Tima Turieva, Tzu Chi Lin, Deng Wei in what will probably be one of the best sessions on the women’s side.
Thanks to Paula for the link.
Youtube Mirror:
The WCh’s are going to be crazy. There are easily 5 athletes that can win the women’s 63’s, and I’m not even counting Kalina yet!
That doesn’t look like the same place/competition compared to the videos the federation put up previously. The men’s results also don’t match those long recordings. Where there two nationals, maybe junior/senior? Still confused.
Here are the results of the nationals (in Ukrainian):

I just checked one of the 8 hour videos and those people are in the results. Yuliya Kalina is also there.
I would guess that the top athletes competed separately from others.
The full women’s video is not available for me, so I can’t comment. But that clip of Kalina above doesn’t look like the platform/stage the men lifted on.
And I was looking through the men’s videos for Dmitro Chumak (94) and Oleg Proshak (+105) and these two for example aren’t in them.
Looks like Ukrainian Nationals was an Inside Job!
As I don’t understand ukranian, who’s the guy that went 183/227 in the men’s 94? Very impressing total.
Dmitro Chumak, and yes that’s why I’d like to see it since it marks him a/the favourite for that class. Highest total since Ilyin and overall top 5 or so since 1998.
And not to harp on the videos, but another example from the 105s: Roman Vasilevskiy’s 175+193 is shown, but then the highest C&J is 201 and the top three guys never appear on screen. I think there’s some footage missing.
