One reply on “Field Report 6! The biggest episode yet!”
With respect to the Iranians moving up, it may have been that there was a gap in declared lifts between 207 and 220 and they moved to the top end of that so that 220 would be announced and loaded onto the bar. Once the bar is loaded and lifter is announced the bar weight can no longer move down.
