Kazakh beijing gold medalist just upped him to 185kg.. his Clean and Jerk should be better though im guessing

[Raptor]

Snatch is over, he is currently 4th with 183 kg. The trio above him all got 185 kg.

I would say his chances for bronze are pretty good. The Korean that is ahead of him only lifted 214 kg in the WC, while Mohammadpour got 221 kg. It will be tough to beat the Kazakh and the Russian though. Both are fully capable to lift a weight above 221 kg which was Mohammadpours final attempt in the WC.

[Kiarash]

How many chance got he to win bronze?

[Siavash]

My god Saeid just did 183kg and is on top and he leads.

[K. Nader]

The Kazakh lifter will probably snatch the Gold - he has won the past 2 World Championships and won the gold medal at the 2008 Olympics. Saeed's best shot is at the silver/bronze medal.

[Siavash]

Saeid in 4th place after snatch. Now they are going for clean/jerk. Saeid was impressive so far considering the fact he is only 19 years old. He has a chance to win a medal.

[Raptor]

He just lifted 219 kg!!

He is ahead with two lifters yet to lift.

[Kiarash]

SHIREE 219 kG

[kapenak]
