Is it just me or does Rahmats technique almost look like he hitches the bar? Like the bar is pulled so slowly that prior to starting his second pull, you can see him really driving the bar back into position with his lats/arms. The drive back with his upper body is relatively faster than the actual first pull that it doesn’t decrease the acceleration of the bar as those learning to lift would usually have it.

@victorjiang1167 8 ай бұрын

North Korea's not eligible to compete at the Olympics cus they kicked WADA out of thier country so there's no unannounced testing of any of their athletes. They are literally only tested in competition. Why the IWF allows them to compete I do not know; it's probably this attitude that's getting weightlifting reduced and potentially kicked out of the Olympics. This is North Korea's big shabang whereas other athletes are saving their max peak for the Olympics.
