Team Iran STUNS Team China! Worlds 2026 Day 9

Okay, so maybe a little bit of a slower start today, but we still had some legends in the building. Lasha turned up, Colby Ferguson turned up. Colby built up to 170 kilos in the snatch. That's gonna be right around an opener for him. And then 200 in the clean and jerk, probably the final warmup before coming out at like 210, 215 range. He knows that it's possible to get a clean and jerk medal. Anything sort of over that 230 mark is gonna be in the conversation for a bronze probably. I mean, we might even see bronze to gold is all within that. 230 to 240 range, so he's capable of it. We'll just see how he gets on in the competition. Lasher actually lifted more than we've seen from him at any point during this comeback so far. So he built up to 185 kilos in the snatch. That's actually really nice from him. Realistically, he can snatch 200. It looks like he did 220 in the clean and jerk. He probably got 240, so like already a 440 total. maybe enough for top five in the world right now realistically he won't compete here and he's going to go to Qatar in December, that's Weightlifting House TV as well but he looks good he looks like he's sort of full 40 shape already the atmosphere in here is actually pretty crazy because we've got all right we've got another lift here coming um because we've got Team China and Team Iran side by side and this is the first session for Liu Huanhua. It's the first session for Ali Reza Naziri. Can you hear me? Two of the top 110s in the world and they're side by side. Every single one of Team China's coaching staff is stopping and watching all of the sort of big lifts from Team Iran. The heavyweights Ali Reza Naziri with the biggest snatch of any 110 so far at 185. Mahini Sedeh, who used to be a 95-6, who had the snatch world record from last year, he's now at 110, he just hit 180. The music is loud, they've got this huge speaker they've brought in, it's good music. Hossein Rezazadeh, we've got Farhad Salimi. Can you hear me? It's like the most fun, high-energy session probably for the championship so far. So yeah, it's been unreal. I've got a photo for you. It's nice. Full of signatures. Got Reza Zadeh there and next, I hope I can see Piroz then. No, no, no, no. I don't know what I'm talking about. 200 kilos, about to take an attempted 220 kilo power clean. Just watching those 220s, he was just like, like he'd never seen, I guess no one in China. It's ever power clean 220, right? Like that would never have happened, so. Thank you very much.
