I don't think Rostami's was legit either, he's pulled some stuff on stage before, but I don't think that was a touch

No shaking of elbows and had full control of the bar the whole time. He also waited for buzzer. Sounds like a good lift to me.

I dunno his left arm though

@@koualee4645 Exactly. His left elbow bent and then straightened out again. It was a clear press-out and the judges should have called it a missed lift.

@@lisacollins6430 u blind?

He comes from Chechnya, my home country. He is great but unfortunately he is one of the elite russian lifters who is on steroids. He got banned from competitions.

@@mowgaz3439 when he's not on steroids he looks extremely weak he struggles to do a 145 snatch when he's not drugged

@@LilPimpOfficial yeah i saw that too but I think he uses roids again in off competitions just to not feel extremely weak

​@@mowgaz3439 &​ @Lil Pimp EVERYONE takes steroids to compete in IWF, WWC, Olympics etc. , not just Apti. You can't even get LAST PLACE without steroids.

+8acun Elbow touched the knee.

Austin Poff don't think it did tho

A slower replay by someone else (Floelite I believe) shows that it does, ever so slightly. How the judge actually saw that and called it is beyond me...

+Austin Poff i dont know how they can see Rostamis elbow to the knee but also they miss Artems press-out on 215

At the end of the day, calls happen. Some bad, some good, some missed.

cause the pressout rule is subjective garbage and the fact that they were clearly not ready with the plate loading when he got up there so he had to pace around the platform before this lift

@@MultiPain101 I saw no pressout tho

@@Niccciii probably cause of the angle this was recorded at

Bad judging. Plenty of suspicious snatches and CJs got passed in this event. Thankfully Omirtay made 200kg on the later attempt.

The barbell fell behind, this is no lift. You have to drop in front.

@@muffliato100 it doesn't matter where the bar falls after the buzzer. He didn't hold the lockout for enough time before the buzzer would be called.

@@toximan2008 no the buzzer occured before he dropped it, which was good. he only messed up dropping behind. you cant drop behind

@@toximan2008 Yes it does. Rules state bar must be dropped in front of the lifter.

@@toximan2008 it does matter where the bar falls. You can get no lifted if you don't drop the bar in front from shoulder height.

+Troy Obillo If you mean the third one, he "adjusted" the bar placement on his shoulders when he caught the bar during the clean; you can see him kind of lower his elbows when he catches the bar and then raise them right after, which slightly pushes the bar up.

His elbow was bent in the snatch therefore no lift

I think he means his second snatch attempt, which they probably gave no lift for press out ( in my opinion it should be 3 whites, it wasn't really that bad )

he has a huge ego, thinks he's better than everybody and makes bad weight choices all the time. that's mainly why he wont be in the tokyo 21

Maybe he wanted to increase time between attempts so he could rest longer
