The Georgian is pure BS! He had positive Doping and still they allow him to come back! Sorry but these Olympics are a joke!We really really have been robbed!!!!!

Both our 94 and 105kg lifters had positive tests and came back too

[Camran khan]

Did he break Rezazadeh's record? Didn't he lift a total of 473.5kg in 2004?

[Ab-Gosht]

He should have tried to go for 240 - then at least he would get silver.

236kg was enough for silver

Iranians have flooded the Rio 2016 Instagram page

Akh akh akh akh, not again. God please have mercy!

Georgian broke Rezazadeh's world record for total.
I was expecting that, he was getting 463 total in a regional competition earlier this year. Salimi himself said many times that Talakhadze is the favourite. Its just sad that both refs and coaching robbed him from a silver.

here I dont put so much blame on the coaching!
since his lifts, specially second attempt was fine!
If he was fit, the refs wouldn't be able to find excuses to penalize his lifts!
But his lift was fine!

So?? Did the Georgian break Rezazadeh's record or not? Wikipedia says Rezazadeh lifted 473.5kg in 2004.

Both our 94 kg and 105 kg weightlifters were caught doping?

Guys, check the Twitter account of Iran Olympics. The head of the international weightlifting federation visited the jury table just seconds before Salimi was due to go up to tell them something...very fishy. There is a picture of him right behind the jury talking to them.

Guys, let's look forward to 2020. This is over. Wait and see what they will do to us in freestyle and taekwondo. Now that the hate against Iranian athletes is going strong for them, who and what should stop them?
