Men’s 77kg – the toughest competition so far

W58kg SRISURAT Sukanya (THA) started the Snatch with 100kg, executed it with great precision, perfectly controlling the weight just as for her attempt at 103kg and 105kg. She was unstoppable all along, even though missing her third Clean and Jerk at 128kg, she gave that Gold Medal away to the Chinese lifter ZHOU Jun (CHN). ZHOU tried to catch the leading SRISURAT but her efforts were not enough as the 9kg disadvantage from the Snatch was too much for a comeback. With 20kg less than the Gold Medallist, RIM Un Sim (PRK) stood on third place of the podium. Being also less confident in the Snatch, she missed 99kg twice, the Clean and Jerk 4th place was enough to get a medal. M77kg Men’s 77kg was mainly about missed attempts and pass-outs. After the Snatch, several athletes didn’t came out for the Clean and Jerk, while we could witness altogether 17 no lifts. As a surprise, MOHAMED KADHUM Karrar (IRQ) bombed out in the Snatch as he missed 148kg three times. So far we can say this was the toughest competition here at the 2015 IWF Junior World Championships Wroclaw. Youth World Champion in 2012, the Armenian lifter KARAPETYAN Andranik missed his first two Snatch at 155kg, controlling it only at his third attempt. That was still higher than Silver Medallist MIRI Ali (IRI) who did 150kg. Third place STOIAN Doru Ilie (ROU) got only 5th in the Clean and Jerk but still maid it third in the Total 326kg. The Iranian lifter MIRI won easily the gold in the Clean and Jerk with 332kg, and ended only 3kg behing Gold winner KARAPETYAN. CHEPIK Roman (RUS) and MORENO TORRES Jhor Esneider (COL) got one medal each for their 180kg Clean and Jerk being the same weight 180kg (just as KARAPETYAN Andranik) – final ranking determined by

PAKKARATHA Rattanaphon (THA) managed to get back on track after a 5th place Snatch lifting also 115kg and winning the Gold in the Clean and Jerk by bodyweight. There was no question in the Total al LIU got enough advantage in the Snatch to keep her leading position. The Egyptian lifter IBRAHIM Basma Emad Gouda Mohamed (EGY) ended the Snatch ranking 7th with 83kg and had to fight hard to get a chance to finish on the podium. With her 106kg Clean and Jerk as last attempt, she got was she came for.

He was followed closely by YUAN Chengfei (CHN) ending second by bodyweight with also 151kg as last successful lift. Third place KWON Yong Gwang’s (PRK) first attempt at 138kg seemed too heavy, but he managed to go up till 141kg, having a 10kg drawback. The Clean and Jerk was an easy one for MOSQUERA LOZANO Luis Javier (COL) who tried to break the long standing Clean and Jerk Junior World Record of LIAO Hui (CHN), but the 191kg weight seemed a bit heavy in the end. With his Total of 338kg, he was handed over the Gold Medal by the President of the Colombian Weightlifting Federation, Mrs. Ana Camacho. Silver Medal winner in the Total YUAN with 329kg was followed by KWON with

PAK – M62kg World Champion

Competition was tight in the Snatch with 124kg being a great challenge for lifters. Missed by PAK Jong Ju (PRK) once and MOSQUERA LOZANO Jose David (COL) twice, ERGASHEV Adkhamjon (UZB) was the first to make it a good lift. PAK succeeded at his second attempt, and got first place because of lighter bodyweight. Very balanced performance from ERGASHEV Adkhamjon (UZB), as the Uzbek lifter won 3 Silver medals with 124-151-275kg. In the Clean and Jerk, things got interesting from 145kg even though PAK (PRK) came out only at 155kg. With a Second good lift at 156kg, he won the Gold also in the Total with 280kg . an advantage of 5kg over ERGASHEV.
