Weightlifting consists of the two olympic lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. The snatch is a single movement from ground to overhead, while the clean and jerk is a two-phase movement from the ground to shoulders to overhead. Whoever has the greatest total for both lifts combined wins the coveted Olympic gold for their weight catagory. There are no snatch or clean and jerk metals in the Olympics...more

Start your predictions. The classes to watch are all men's classes 77kg and above (especially 77kg and 105kg, 94kg coming close), and womens +75kg class.

My thoughts: 77kg - China will win. Either Xiaojun or Haojie. Snatch world record will be broken by the chinese, clean and jerk medal will be broken more then once. Total WR smashed, Lu Xiaojun comes out on top. 85kg - An Iranian. I do think rybakou and lu yong can put a fight and might be able to steal a silver but the gold is to Iran. 94kg - Ilya Ilin wins, while breaking clean and jerk world record. Ivanovs will be very, very close. Snatch world record might be broken by one of them. 105kg - Depends on Aramnau. Dolega won't metal, Akkaev will win if Aramnau is in bad shape and vice versa. Klokov will not win gold, but will medal behind Akkaev. Truth be told, Akkaev is a monster and can actually beat Aramnau (who broke all three records last Olympics, two of which are still held). All records will be broken. +105kg - Salimi wins. Breaks snatch world record, might try a CJ world record after winning but won't get it. Tossup between albegov and other iranian to get silver and bronze.
+75kg - Zhou Lulu wins, snatch world record broken by Kashirina, but total and clean and jerk world records will topple to Zhou Lulu. The Korean Jang Mi-Ran might break clean and jerk world record too and will medal.
Lots of world records will be broken this Olympics.
I can out bench that guy in the op with my scrawny nerd brawn any day. ^_^
I also didn't know Iran was wielding some of the top strongmen in the world. That's kind of cool. I would've expected a Nordic country to win based on what I've seen on World's Strongest Man on ESPN over the years. >_<

Where were you when Rezazadeh was smoking everyone else o_o
Huge Xiaojun fan as well. Spot on by the TS, China pretty much has 77kg locked
Overcome all. Especially plateaus.

56kg: Wu Jingbao - This will be a blowout 62kg: Zhang Jie - I think this will be a close battle with the Kim Un Gukbut Zhang always can pull out a big clean and jerk to win. 69kg: Lin Qingfeng: Every other lifter sucks in the clean and jerk, maybe mirzoyan and Martin may do something... 77kg: Lu Xiaojun: This is a competitive class, but I love watching Xiaojun lift. 85kg: Rostami: This class is wide open with many competitors, but Rostami almost made the wr last worlds so Ill go for him. 94kg: Ilya Ilyin: This is going to be a fun class to watch, but Ilyin does not know how to lose. 105kg: Klokov: This is a homer pick but I think Klokov can take the clean and jerk from Aramnau and Akkaev as long as he stays competitive in the snatch. 105+: Salimi: No question even if he is injured.
48: Wang Mingjuan: Shes great to watch <3. Plus there are no turks to challenge her. 53: Zulfiya: I doubt Zhou Jun can compete when she isn't even top 3 in China lol. 58: Li Xueying: too strong for anyone 63:Maiya Maneza: Svetlana needs a huge snatch to stay competitve with Maneza's CJ. 69: Oxana Silvenko: Nothing else to say but I'm said that Liu Chunhong it not competing. 75: Nadeza EVSTYUKHINA: MY Favorite weightclass to watch!!! This will be an amazing battle with evstyuknia and Podobedova. 75+: Zhou Lulu: Miran is weak in the snatch and Tatiana in the CJ. This will also be a great battle.
Also to hype the 75kg class: My favorite lifter Liu Chunhong battling the great 75kg Russians!

This is the man to watch, an absolute fucking beast
Major fan of him :D
He is a magnet, or a "human anatomy chart" as i've heard a commentator call him.
SaJaeHyouk 375 entry total is ridiculous though. 378 is the world record and sa typically only get ~165 snatch. meaning he got ~210 C&J. I think he might finally break the record.
Lu HaoJie probably needs to get another snatch WR to win because his CJ is not so hot.
Lu Xiaojun is probably the favorite because he is so sexy.

Aramnau may be out of the Olympics with a quadriceps injury. If this is true, it will put a damper on the 105kg class, but it may also be a recurrance of the Salimi "injury".

Group A is for the lifters with the highest declared starting totals. There is a cutoff per session and the rest go into group B.

Unfortunately Harris was the only guy to qualify.
Farris* =D San Francisco has a load of weightlifting clubs, it's pretty ridiculous actually. It sucks hysen is most likely going to be out of olympics for doping. Almost everybody thought he was natural and really was a shining beacon for this sport. There's still clarence, lol. And Aramnau is confirmed out. Too bad :/
