No, he can't qualify for the Olympics. He doesn't have enough Robi points.

Rostami isn't a person but a state of mind.

"2/6 better than his last two performances" 😂😂

Love him or hate him Rostami is the most entertaining lifter out there!

I didnt watch your stream so idk if you guys catched that, but at the end when the camera man was close to him he started some rap god rant about being stressed, not getting points for Olympics and doping testing. I had no clue what he meant as he said like 2 sentences and got cut off but it was kinda funny to see a dude flaming wada at iwf livestream

That’s a power stache if I have ever seen one.

This is pure gold. Thank you, gracias!

2:12 "I always try to maintain all people who want to lift heavy ... and support them in it." absolutely wholesome 100

I love Rostami! I totally understand his energy, he's misunderstood!

I love this guy, they need to do a movie on him

Next time someone says watching weightlifting is boring I'm going to send them this video

We have to recognize the fact that sure he has a character and an attitude and even sometimes comes off as arrogant. But the judges have made numerous sketchy decisions on various occasions. Giving 3 white lights if i recall has happened again followed by cancelling the lift. He is an Olympic champion and probably the best 85 there was and nobody can take that away from him. He has a long history of referees kind of bending him over because of X reasons that i do not know. And no I do not justify he actions during the 2019 WWC even though there was some communication issues that can throw the lifter of if his psyche is not stable during this time.

Honestly feel really bad for Kianoush. Partly his own fault, partly the fault of others.

Said it once will say it again. Most interesting / entertaining lifter on the comp stage at times xD

average people don't like him is because he trains by himself, he is the definition of a self trained champion.

Rostami doing Rostami things 😂

06:15 “For the sake of the judges...” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 too true

This guy is awesome

Really enjoying the videos this week great content. My sport is strongman but I just love weightlifting.

i was screaming while he was lifting the 176kg, idk why he keeps doing this

i think that kianoush rostami not giving the refs hell is that he is giving up on working with the judges and the people in the back , he looks so tired and flustered when he comes out almost like he is kinda getting a small depression fit , almost like he has lost the fire to lift for the world to see him loose because of one miss management of the judges and the iranian coaches , i feel and yearn for him but who am i and what can i do, its sad to see him like this love him or hate him he was of the greats that had a bad downfall in the end . seb thanks for the video

Not the best ever, but I love Rostami so much! 😂

Imagine, 2 for 6 and still winning

Kianoush lifted perfectly fine. He attempted a pretty decent weight that he would get, and he did. Same thing for clean and jerk. Looked very easy and I think it should be good lift. Today, he was smart about it to get a total, and then do whatver he wanted to. I dont criticize him today. But when youre putting a PR 180 for your first lift, thats a silly decision, and it obviously had consequences. Its fine to be risky when you have nothing to lose, like today. Got a total, made sure he secured gold, and then attempted record lifts.

Hi is very angry there🥺♥️

His mustache is amazing

It is so funny that people are talking against him . First of all he is an Olympic gold medal winner . He won that medal all by himself . Whitout a coach. In Europe and rich countries, you have many coaches , great meals. But in iran you should do all the process yourself. So if you want to judge somebody, consider his situation and problems . Some of the iranian Olympic medal winners are driving taxi to make money . Some of them dont even have a house . He is a hero . So don't say why he looks upset and angry .

There is always drama with Rostami

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I really seem to dislike Rostami. He misses lifts, often because of ridiculous attempt selection, and then proceeds to blame everyone and everything else. I don't know, he just seems like the polar opposite of the professionalism shown by guys like Lu and Lasha.

Stache pride

Dem 'stache gainz doe

He seems to fall more and more every competition. I hope he gets his mind right.

Can someone explain how SHAMSHIDINOV is in 3rd even though his total is lower than the one in 4th?

The Chris bumstead mustache is getting popular I see

Hate him as much as you want, still this guy is in the top 50 Sinclair of all time and he would have won today's 96 as an 85 lifter if he was in shape. Tian Tao can "laugh in the back" when he will have an Olympic Gold, an Olympic WR total and a 472+ Sinclair.

Why he didn't qualified for Olympics

this guy is a weird person, he believe that entire humanity is against him

While Rostami can be arrogant about his weightlifting capabilities, don't forget that he is still one of the best 96 kg weightlifters in the world. Seb from WL house somehow makes Rostami look like he is not capable of anything while ignoring that he is the one of the few lifters who has totalled 400 kg+ in 96 kg category.

He looks like a crossbreed between Tom Boyden and the Bugez with that stache... a shame that he didn't try to 'Arthur lift' it...

Too bad he can't make the Olympics. The new weight classes aren't doing him any favors either as he's more naturally in the middle between 81 and 96 kg. We'll always have Rio.

Seb: never bet against him. Kianoush: drops barbell.

If you would like me to translate a convo between Rostami & you, We can make it happen

I'm under the impression that he went from 167 kg straight to 176 kg after barely making his first lift because, insecure as he appears to be, he had to protect his gigantic ego from failing at a weight which would have been beneath what was achieved in the 81 kg session... That way he failed at 1 kg above Li Dayin's world record in that previous session, which is more acceptable than missing at, say, 172. Meanwhile 176 was not even close and I doubt he had 172 in him. It's like he's afraid to appear weak by missing weights he wishes were beneath him. How can one lift more than 200 kilos above their head, actually take first place in the event they're competing in, and still look like a loser? Quite a feat in and of itself.

I think he can make 210-211..so he is gonna go for the record 😂😂

Rosdummy

He is mad ...he can will easily but 🤷

After not totaling in 2017 with his injury, Rostami kind off changed and become too ambitious with his lifts, he should be more conservative with his lifts. Its always like he's forcing something out of nowhere.

i dont understand, class 89 is not even competed in Olympic, how he gonna qualify Olympic with the class not be competed?

He's the "Tin Cup" of weightlifting.

Did he sorta bomb or does he just not care anymore

To Brad cutler Yea it IS embarrassing to put on 216 on the bar and not even attempt it. I was a bit of false bravado which IS embarrassing!! I don’t care that he did 220 in the past or that he won. I’m judging THAT performance and HIS behavior ! He behaved in an obnoxious fashion and he looked like a spoiled little baby brat. His own comments betrayed him: (again if the translation is correct): boo hoo I’m getting drug tested etc etc etc Yes he’s a great lifter but on that day he behaved like a complete ass

His arrogance is his downfall

Very likely because he's Kurd not Persian, so the rest of the team don't like him.

lol seb with no medals, feels kinda intimidated by Kianoush manliness and confidence. Chill out beta Seb!

The arrogance of this guy, seriously.

To the Tillhammer I’m commenting on rostami’s extremely odd and obnoxious decorum on the platform ...the man is not all there psychologically! And he embarrasses himself by putting 216 on the bar ,..what is SAD and pathetic about all this (if the translation is accurate) is his complaints of the doping he underwent ...BOO HOO poor guy...NO ONE CARES Rostami Take it like a man ... As for selling his gold medal great gesture ...which of course was much publicized..why can’t people do good deeds nowadays without getting media coverage ? Your comment was a silly attack on me without at least considering that he was acting like a little brat If that was my son out there I would slapped the crap out of him An embarrassment Having said all that he’s a great juiced up all time legendary lifter
