You win some and you lose some. Congrats to India on the win. SK could choke on a hairy one for being awful sportswomen. They mimed the Chinese player’s crying after they won the game.

Well I don't know who allowed this to happen but weightlifting so far has been a total shit show. The North Koreans have been missing since their last drug ban and haven't had any drug testing for the last 4 years. The Chinese weightlifting team has been tested over 1,000 times every year by WADA (world anti-doping agency) surprise testing in China (supposedly with Shi Zhiyong being subjected to so many blood tests a day, he says the real plan might be to kill him from anemia). The Nokos kicked WADA out so that their athletes could not be subjected to random testing and as a result, they are not eligible to compete at the Olympics. SOMEBODY let them into the Asian Games and their women, even women whom no one has ever heard of before in their debut comp, have broken every total world record and most indvidual lift world records in all 4 of the competitions they entered so far. Their men have so far come in second to China's OG Olympic champs despite both of them being quite tired after just competing at the Worlds. WADA is furious and going to investigate but honestly, chances aren't high they'll be caught without out-of-competition testing, which is not possible due to North Korea being North Korea. They probably will be made to jump through impossible hoops in the future, being DQ'd right off the bat for kicking WADA out of their country but this time, they just might have pulled off the heist and be allowed to keep their medals.
Looking at the big picture, China has secured 147 gold medals so far out of the 306 offered. With more than 400 total, I do think China should hit a historic 200+ this year.

He’s pretty good, I wish he was ten years younger. But I hope for some good fights.
What FOUL play?
Using Sikh Canadian judges.

Chinese weightlifting ended up with 5 golds this time to Noko's 6. We'll see what drug testing can do but I'm not too hopeful because it takes some serious fking up to fail an in competition test. China also just wrapped up the World's a month ago where Noko did not attend so 2 golds that we had steady slipped away from athlete fatigue. Fat Li Wenwen could not appear in the superheavy category and Liao Guifang, whose score at the Worlds was significantly higher than even the doped up Noko score from yesterday, bailed out of the competition after the second attempt to prevent injury.
That said, China has an incredible rising star. Liu Huanhua AKA Gigachad, is on a trajectory that is almost unheard of. He showed promise last year as an 89kg lifter doing 166+215. This year, he went up to 102kg and in his first competition, went 175+210 (we went right to 223 but failed so his real power was somewhere in between), second comp went 180+224 in the same category, but just now, he lifted as a 109kg lifter (he was just an overweight 102; he definitely had no time to fill out to 109 but just was able to attend without cutting weight so likely something like 105kg) and made 185+233! He won the gold medal for China beating out the reigning Olympic+World Champion and the former Olympic Champion, both guys who are total veterans of the category! This guy is one to watch and although they called him Gigachad before he had the numbers to back it up, he's certainly earning it now!
China's gold count is at 187 out of 433 so far. There are a total of 480 so China needs 13/47 to make or 14/47 to beat the 200 number. Looks like it will happen but could get a little choppy cus China's best events are behind it. Regardless, China got 199/477 in Guangzhou 2010 so I hope China can beat that but we're not getting anywhere near our best performance which was 1990 Beijing were we took 183/310 golds, meaning just shy of 60%!
Despite my joke about India just going to sporting event for free food, they are doing really well for themselves this year with 22 golds, behind the top 3 China (187), Japan (47), SK (36) of course but that is absolutely a historic performance considering India's track record.

Is that really his nickname? How did he earn it when so many other Chinese lifters have great physique too?Chinese weightlifting ended up with 5 golds this time to Noko's 6. We'll see what drug testing can do but I'm not too hopeful because it takes some serious fking up to fail an in competition test.

I think it's his face and his square jaw. His nickname is indeed Gigachad and it was that even when he had 0 medals and no outstanding scores.
