No.

She went for broke.

It was Bronze or Nothing.

You have 3 lifts though so why go all out on the first? Especially if C&J is not your strong point. Are the rest of us missing somethings

i think Maryam should have started at a SAFE weight, then move up

UNLESS the weight she started at was the mandatory starting weight

Exactly, the coaches were doing kidology with armenians, a safe start like the armeninan did, that's what they should have done

Zhou trying trying jer best 187

Omg she does it

Kashirina over to you

187

wow

Yes. What they do is add up Snatch + Clear & Jerk for the TOTAL which is the Olympic Medal. The other competitors were stronger so she had to go for it. 156 may have been safe but will not win a medal which is what Naija wants. She gave it her all but got beaten.

Kashirina is going to have to gamble...she already has 4 points on Lulu but can lulu lift 191?

Zhou wins gold, Kashirina couldn't lift 187

The thing about lifting is that you not only have to lift it, you have to lift it without locking out. Sometimes judges give dodgy decisions, she could have lifted it and got a dodgy decision anyway. You can see that the Russians and Chinese started off with comfortable lifts. Then they upped their game..

Lulu gets Gold...Kashirina fails at 187

Zhou says let's finish it going for 190

I just can't get over this one. It's a massive massive loss. Maryam was well positioned, a little bit of common sense and she would have delivered at least a Bronze medal.

Why, O why???

in hind sight Kashirina should have attempted 184

But she was 3rd in the Snatch with one point above the Armenian. The Armenian lifted 158 in her first lit so that is all Miriam had to lift to get back to bronze position. And since she lifts after the Armenian all she has to do is match the Armenian's lift, not so?

Okay back to vball italy v Russia 1set all
Italy leading 19-14 in third set

Maryam wasn't even classified. She registered no lift at all in the final stage. So even if 10 of those before her had tested positive, she would have still missed out.

Not really considering her body weight, she had to lift way more than the Armeninan who eventually lifted 164
