+Ivan Dragon Po zmianie limitów wagowych to jest oficjalny rekord czy komuś się podoba czy nie. Podobną rzecz postulował Harting w lekkoatletyce aby się pozbyć tych kosmicznych rekordów z lat 80.

@@rakunh1249 A co tu zmieni limit wagowy 105 czy 109?oni i tak ważą po 150kg więc to nie ma znaczenia

+Ali X Maybe, however, this a conditional-2-statement: It didn‘t (and will never) occur and we cannot prove it. Thus, it doesn't make much sense.

it is easy to prove ...just take a look at how easily he lifted 263.5 in 2004. I remember his coach told that he even beated the 270 kg in trianing but we didnt want to say it becuse it makes the championships difficult for him. even behdad salimi reached 265 in trianing. i like to say this beacuse I see russians are making such a big campain about the strongest man in the world!!

+Ali X As in all other sports, only performances in official competitions count. Training performances are not relevant and do not count. Thus, as fair sportmen we have to accept and respect the new world records and let the Russian be proud and celebrate Aleksey Lovchev, as we did when Hossein Rezazadeh set new records. By the way, when Rezazadeh set new world records, did you deprecatingly refer to the former world records by Leonid Taranenko, which were better?

+Ali X You prove nothing. If Reza did that much training, then Lovchev could have done the same - except none of those matters since only a competition lift counts.

+Ali X All of them - Reza, Behdad, Lovchev, Leonid - are great athletes and legends of their own. You are disgracing them by initiating a pointless debate. Why not just leave them be and celebrate the 264? Do you even lift?
