  • The battle between Kuo Hsing-chun and Yenny Alvarez at the 2022 World Weightlifting Championships was unpredictable right up until the final moment. The five-time world champion Kuo Hsing-chun went up against Yenny Alvarez at the peak of her career in front of a home crowd.

    I won't lie, I cried a little. Against the odds, battling adversity to come out has a winner always makes me emotional for these athletes that realise their dreams. This is weightlifting at its best.

    This is the feeling the emotion that weightlifting gives to the masses I just wish they would’ve included the part where Kuo celebrates as Alvarez makes her 3rd lift I love the competition the sport don’t take this away from us Olympic committee

    It's always interesting to see how the Asian athletes have noticeably different limb proportions.
    Their legs are so short in comparison to their torsos.

    • @jkizzle9953
      @jkizzle9953 Před rokem +2

      Super short femurs makes getting around their knee into a bottom position very comfortable. Not sure where this came from might have been the low growing crops in their region that they had to farm and thus those with short femurs were ideal/ more successful.

      i was thinking the same but in the opposite way. Maybe I'm used to seeing longer torsos so it's more noticeable to me when I see a small torso.

    Not sure what adversity Alverez was overcoming as in so many comments? Kuo was injured and gave it a valiant try. Not taking anything away from Alverez but let’s be fair.

    • @harleymbaldwin
      @harleymbaldwin Před rokem +5

      Totally agree! These supposed "genius pundits" have NO understanding of actual competitive weightlifting, nor made any true mention of the fact that Kuo was clearly NOT 100% and has a history of knee issues going back decades (she even made trips to the USA before Anaheim Worlds), so even an "average" total for Kuo (103-105 / 135-138) would have easily won GOLD here! Credit to Alvarez for her excellent performance but let us put things in perspective : Kuo has been doing this for DECADES and is now 30 years old (with all the accompanying strain on her body) while this young lady is literally lifting at "home" in front of a friendly crowd which gives her energy, etc...let's see how she (or anybody) does over decades of comps, traveling to foreign countries etc...and THEN we can discuss!
