Men's 89kg Final

Romain Imadouchene of France comes out now. He has declared 195 as his first lift. 

CANNOT GET IT ON THE CHEST!!

AND THIS TIME IT CLEARS IT!!! 

09 Aug, 07:53

Men's 89kg Final

Will he stay at 182? 

It looked quite easy for him so he can go up if he wants. 

I doubt it though.

HE STAYS AT 182. He wants to get in a lift I guess. 

09 Aug, 07:52

Men's 89kg Final

AND WE ARE OFF!!! 

BRUCE PICKS UP 182... BUT THE JURY ARE REVIEWING IT!! 

IT LOOKED BAD... THE LEFT LOOKED TOO SOFT!!
