    Aiyooo, you all expectation too high, you all havent been following his progress lah. His personal best before OG was 262 kg, the total he qualified for OG. Even Amirul's coach (from China) said he lost out those 2 years when he was suspended for failing a drug test. Amirul only came back to the scene in 2007 in a rush to qualify for OG, his coach said this weightlifting thingy need long term muscle building & training.

    His total today is 265 kg, he's in Group A where the best are. Look at Group B results. And yup the China young chap is pretty good, did a new Junior World Record.

    The INA guy has great potential and he can really challenge CHN in the future.

    First medal for INA contingent as lifter Eko Yuli Irawan grabbed bronze yesterday after another hope Lisa Rumbewas only took 4th position so no medal from Lisa in this Beijing Olympics.

    CHN won 8 golds and 1 silver in 9 events contested. The only event lost was due to body weight. Incredible performance...
