American Open Men's 94 kg class

[Tamara Reynolds]

I'm at the American Open, and it's awesome. Really good battle last night in the 94s between Jon North, Ian Wilson, and Coard Wilkes. Jon snatched 158, and it looked really easy. Ian and Coard came back on the jerk with Ian hitting 189 and Coard hitting 190. They all finished with the same total, so it went by bodyweight. Coard first, Ian second, Jon third.

Ian's 189 kg:


Coard's 190 kg:

How close were their body weights? I hate differentiating medals based on 100g of extra body fat :/

[stonerider]

to prevent that, don't tie

[RRod]

The frequency of ties would seem to indicate that this is not trivial

Ian's technique is sloppy and he's only 18 (!). Wow.

So if Jared Fleming is competing, North finishes 4th best in his weight class. Yikes.

[Tamara Reynolds]

Ian is only 17. And I would hardly call his technique "sloppy." No one gets a medal for a "pretty" lift.

Ian's technique is sloppy and he's only 18 (!). Wow.

I don't how how I'll find it in my heart to forgive him.

Looking forward to more lifts.

[Lee]

Yeah math fail on that one...Jan 8, 1994. Nice future for that kid!

[Tamara Reynolds]

Cakeb just went 3 for 3 on snatch with a 151. Donny hit 162.

I like that looks of that Ian kid. No silly bullshit after making the lift.
