Olympic weightlifting is not some kind of a sport game with difficult rules. It’s easy to understand what’s going on, right?
But what if I tell you that this one was a no lift?!
This is the rule about dropping the bar after you get the down signal, and it reads “The grip on the barbell must only be released when it has passed the level of the shoulders.” You can find it here: https://iwf.sport/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2020/01/IWF_TCRR_2020.pdf rule 2.4.3.
Do you agree with judges who defined the lift of Kate Nye as no lift?
