CONGRATULATIONS!

ALI HASHEMI WINS GOLD IN TOTAL in 105 kgs!!!!

also won GOLD in snatch and BRONZE in C&J, GOLD in TOTAL!

[Payam_Ali]

Bad coaching for Soleymani. He could have easily gotten a 181/220 and been in the medal hunt. Young kid looks very disappointed.

Very weak 105 session overall. 183/221/404 for Hashemi won gold. Moradi hit 184/233/417 at 11kg lighter bodyweight without his last clean and jerk.

But 3 more medals and 2 more golds for Iran. I'll take it!

[Adesor Vafaseya]

We got 2 World Champs now Moradi (94kgs) and Hashemi (105kgs)

Dameshoon Garm!

tomorrow final day 105+!

[Persian-Pride87]

Hashemi with the overall gold!

I think this is the first time EVER we have won gold at the 105kg weight class.

[Adesor Vafaseya]

LOL the woman who gave Hashemi his medal (bronze) extends her hand for hand shake, Hashemi bows to her, she still keeps her hand, he bows again, and she says why and he bows again loooool

while when he receives his Gold medal from a guy they shake hands and kiss on their cheeks (and she is jealous I guess) lol

[webmaster]

Wow Moradi.. he is a beast.. congrats everyone. This is a very "I am so proud to be an Iranian moment".

LOL Moradi in 94 kgs lifted in all categories more than any lifter in 105 kgs, He would have won GOLD in SNATCH, C&J, and TOTAL of 105 kgs too.

LOL Salimi is a badass

lifting 120 kgs with one hand while wearing a backpack...., casually during a walk by

[Ata]

We still have the chance to win the competition, and we dont even use our women in this comepetition

[_Navid_]

Wow. I was not expecting that. I was hoping for them to have a good ranking and get us some points but damn a historic gold medal!

The final ranking is not about medals but points, does anyone have a point ranking so far??? We have a shot at winning the whole thing I think with two more medals tonight.

Thanks to YouTube for letting us watch the competition the next day without spoilers!!

This doesn’t sound like you at all, you sound very “over patriotic” (optimistic), please become more pessimistic i.e. “realistic”.

Lol nice try, but if you look closely on the plates it say 2.5kgs. So it’s 30 kgs.

Unless you were being sarcastic and it flew right over my head.
