  • Liu Huanhua, aka Giga Chad, has become arguably China's best weightlifter on the men's team. After years of total dominance, China's squad has started missing out on Gold medals.
    In Thailand, at their most important competition of the entire Olympic quad, 'only' two of the six took home gold medals, two more managed medals, and two fell outside of the medals.
    Watch as Liu Huanhua journeys from the third ranked -89kg weightlifter in China to their World no.1 as an -102kg weightlifter.

      Out of a possible 45 Weightlifting Medalists in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 20 were subsequently banned after re-testing a competition sample. That's 44%.. of medalists!
      Weightlifting is absolutely rife with drug use, it's basically systemic.
      The USSR dominated weightlifting for decades, and then they fell apart and got caught cheating, the void was filled by China.
      China isn't good at weightlifting, they're good at drugs, just the same as the USSR before them.
      Weightlifting isn't a test of an individuals strength, speed, skill, or stamina, it's a test of their ability to utilise a drug program and not get caught.
      There may be phenoms who are incredibly gifted athletes, but if they're a weightlifter, they are on drugs as well. Because those phenoms cannot outcompete other insanely gifted athletes who are on drugs.. and everyone is on drugs when it comes to weightlifting.
      When 50% of the field gets caught on drugs, the other 50% isn't clean, they just didn't get caught.

      I can somewhat agree on the Lu point because he did easily what people in heavier weight classes were struggling to do. The man was 77kg and did 100kg over bodyweight snatch whilst in the current 89s,some of the top ten can't even manage a 175kg snatch

      Not to take away from Lu's greatness anything, but you need to consider that the heavier weight class, the harder it is to snatch big weights. To keep it at around 100kg weight class, these guys nowadays still have to catch up to Nicu Vlad who snatched 200.5kg at 100kg class in 1986 world championships. Yes and he C&J-ed 237kg that day too.

    Whether they have super genes and/or PED or not, it's still cheap to say they merely rely on those factors. In this high competitive world you still need to strain very hard, sleep enough and your diet has to be top notch.
    If that wasn't´t the case, then everyone could compete in the Olympics, which is not true.

      They all use PEDs and roids. Not everyone can be in the Olympics. It takes many years of getting the technique perfect. If you have the technique, you can lift heavy weights.

    Lui is the next Ilya. He is 102 and Ilya was 105 but he is probably gonna be stronger especially at a lighter bw

      Ilya lifted Liu's career best total (418 kg) at the 2012 Olympics while weighing 93.52 kg, and he achieved a 437 kg total (191-246) while weighing 104.44 at the 2015 President's Cup.
