This is a training session from the 2019 World Championships training hall, less than one week out from competition.
Meso Hassona (QAT 96) worked up to a training lift in the clean and jerk at 220kg, the heaviest training lift from any 96kg lifter in the training hall, and a lift that only one other athlete (Tian Tao (CHN)) in the following competition would beat.
Ilya Ilyin (KAZ 96) turned up for his first training session in the World’s training hall, front squatting up to a fast 230kg, and snatching up to a very routine 140kg.
