In Response To: Re: THE TRIALS! BUTCH (Jim Moser)

The lazy and easy answer is the same person that's place the highest in the last 2 Sr. World Championships, Casey Burgener!

But I tried to get fancy and predict who would actually be there. Since the Olympics are limited to 190 Men and Countries are limited to 6 Team Members at most, you can't just look at past results and take them on face value.

For example, would Russia send 2 85s and 2 94s or replace one of the 4th place lifters with a 6th place 77? Or Since 2006 Sr. World 105 Kg Champion Marcin Dolega bombed in 2007, you would have to move him up into one of Poland's spots. And do you think Mutlu won't be there?

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find list of how many lifters each Nation will get, so I can't do a deeper analysis.

BUTCH!
