Russian athletes have companions in misfortune. Weightlifting representatives are also unlikely to be able to compete at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The reason is the same as that of the "queen of sports" - big problems with doping.
The disturbing news came on Wednesday evening from Tbilisi, where the congress of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) is taking place. On the first day of the event, completely dedicated to the problems of doping, the Executive Committee made a number of important decisions.
There are two news for the Russian national team - bad and very bad. Let's start with the first one. The IWF officially redistributed the Olympic quotas that were provided to countries at the end of the 2015 World Cup. Then, we will remind, Russian athletes initially received the right to go to Rio with the largest team of six men and four girls.
However, it soon became known about the failure of doping tests in four Russians at once, whose results influenced the distribution of quotas. Received disqualifications, and. Six months later, the IWF decided to take away from Russia one Olympic ticket from each sex. At best, five men and three girls will now go to Rio.
But there is also some very bad news. The Executive Board ruled that if any country’s representatives failed at least three doping tests following a recent sample recheck from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, they would be suspended for a year and automatically skipped the Rio Olympics.
Three national teams fall under this article - Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Russian athletes violated anti-doping rules at least three times. The doping tests of Marina Shainova and Nadezhda Estyukhina in 2008, as well as Apti in 2012, were positive. They all have various anabolic steroids. All three should lose the Olympic medals they won - Shainov and Aukhad's silver, and Evstyukhin's bronze.
The Belarusians also have three positive tests - from, Marina Shkermankova and. All were caught in 2012. Kazakhstan has the most sad situation - the country should lose five gold medals at once, which they won at both Olympics, as well as Zulfiya Chinshailo and those who won in London.
However, there is still a small hope that Russian weightlifters will go to Rio, and the IWF itself admits it. First of all, you need to fully prove that all three athletes used prohibited substances.
For this, both the "A" and "B" samples must show a positive result. In the case of Shainova and Yevstyukhina, the clarity is already complete - anabolics were found in both of their analyzes. The autopsy results for Aukhadov's B sample are still unknown. There is a tiny hope that it will give a negative result, and then the Russian national team will be "carried over".
There is a precedent - the athlete and the rower got off with fright after rechecking the Beijing samples. Their "A" samples were positive and their "B" samples negative.
However, if it is nevertheless proven that Aukhadov, the 2013 world champion and bronze medalist of the last world championship, took steroids, then the Russian weightlifting team will remain at home for the entire next year. The probability of this is very high, and the end in this matter will be put in the coming days. For example, it is already known that Ilyin's B sample taken in London gave a positive result. Aukhadov should also check soon.
Athletes also found themselves in a similar difficult situation. On June 17, the Council of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) upheld the ban on Russian participation in international competitions, including the Olympic Games.
However, some of the subjects of the "queen of sports" still hope to get to Rio. June 21 announced that the IAAF may make an exception for individual athletes who have never violated the rules and have undergone enhanced testing.
The same right to selective disqualification remains with the IWF. However, there is hardly any hope that some Russian contenders for Olympic medals, such as world champions, will be able to take advantage of this. The IWF has repeatedly disqualified entire countries in the past and made no exceptions.
By the way, separately, following the results of the first day of the congress, members of the IWF condemned the appointment of the President of the Russian Weightlifting Federation, Sergei Syrtsov, to the post of head of the anti-doping committee in the European Weightlifting Federation. Over the past six years that he has been in charge of Russian weightlifting, the number of athletes caught on doping is growing almost every month, and it is strange that they were not removed from the Olympics even earlier, and there is still little hope for a different outcome.

Weightlifting athletes perform snatch and clean and jerk. A snatch is a lifting of the bar in one motion overhead. This sport presupposes the possibility of different execution techniques, depending on who is more convenient for whom: to put their feet together or separately, along which trajectory to direct the bar. But when the weight is taken, the weightlifter cannot just drop it to the floor. He must stand up straight and wait until the referee whistles to signal that the weight has been taken. Only then can the athlete lower the barbell.
The jerk is lifting the weight in a different way. The barbell should be raised and placed on your chest. After the referee's whistle, it can be lifted up.
Barbell sizes are different for men and women. The male bar has a weight of 20 kg, the female bar - 15.
The competition takes place as follows. The first step is to put on the heaviest discs available on the neck. After that, progressively lighter weights are put on. The athlete is given three attempts per exercise. If the weight does not work out, the athlete is eliminated from the competition.
On August 9, at the Olympic Games in Rio, weightlifters competed for two sets of awards, one each for men and women.
First women in the weight category up to 63kg determined the winners. Here, an unconditional victory over rivals, with a difference of 14 kg, was won by the Chinese woman Deng Wei, her total is 262 kg.

The result in Rio is the most successful in my career, said the Belarusian weightlifter, who performed in the category over 130 kg. Pinchanin performed in group "B" and showed a high result in the total of 411 kg. In the snatch, the Belarusian lifted the barbell 187 kg, and in the clean and jerk he showed the result of 224 kg.
