One of the competitors was only 89 pounds!  :o

She attempted 226 but failed and went on to clear 219.

I think she was from Dubai.

They all use drugs, not just the russians and the chinese.

Exactly. 204 nations in, and anyone who thinks the Russians and Chinese are the only geared ones in is naive or daft.

Were Marian Jones, Ben Johnson et al a fluke lol. All the powerhouse nations are sporting users, be real.

All the drugs in the world will not make any average person lift big weights. Lift more, yes, but no really big weights. It takes more than gear alone.

Agreed.

They are still all on as much gear as they can get by with.

Agreed, is why I don't get into the whole drug thing. They are all still great athletes who worked very hard.

Olympics is pretty much a level playing field drug wise, all the upper tier are using and trying to beat a test. Simple.

That's the way it is, what I think is irrelvant.

Nothing will stop them, testing just reduces.

At the highest level, it is all just a matter of who gets caught, not whose using, all the top ones are.

No he retired.

Halil mutlu is going for his 4th consecutive gold though, he would be the first one to pull that off if he makes it.

mutlu won't be competing

he pulled out of the 2008 beijing olympics stating that he was not able to "lift my targeted weight in practice"

Hmmm makes sense, at the 2008 europeans he was only a shell of his former self unfortunately.

Olympic Lifting is very popular in China and receives mainstream media coverage and events are aired on a regular basis live.  The male lifters are very popular.

The chinese are doing well in the weightlifting today in the mens.

I think there was a kid under 20 who leading after the snatch. Crazy.

While I respect their accomplishments, I can't say they "win" againest female bodybuilders in the looks area imo. For one, many outweigh female BB in some cases by as much as 200lbs.

Female bb may look big photo wise, most are like 130lbs or so. In reality, not sure they would be considered more masculine agianest 350lbs weightlifting women...as they must be huge in person.

Here's a collection of photos from various Chinese Olympic Lifters as they train, I thought might interest some:

These were posted at another forum sometime ago, by a fellow who was observing the Chinese team as they prepared for the Olympics.
