it's almost as if you were there... except it was me!
This is just what I saw as it unfolded and isn't a polished write up -in fact it was hard to keep up between looking at the screens, the platform and then trying to type. Expect typos LOL
Day 1 session One
Men M2 & M3 56-67.5
Having never been to an IPF Worlds it was quite a treat to see the venue filled with athletes in their colorful uniforms with the flags of so many different countries. As the start time neared the anticipation could been seen on the faces of the lifters.
As expected a very fast pace computer scoring and ER racks keep things moving along timer on several screens including warm up room lets everyone know the order and time left etc.Start of lifting
First lifter of 8 in flight oneKim-Won Pok easy opener 105k 3W
Next up Bidika India 130 k Easy
Galant USA 137.5 easy
Iwakami JPN 140 - tiny, thin man looks like a grandfather trouble with start replace bar redo 10 sec - - no lift smooth but a bit slow
Leino Finland 160 - looks younger than his 50 years maybe a youthful 35 little shaky on walkout smooth but not deep enough for judges. Looked ok from my position but Im not on platform and cant see everything
Sotowa JPN 165 another granddad, vocal - several power grunts as he approached bar - lifter, tight form 3 whites
