Topic: Kakhi Kakhiasvili and 2008 olympic games?

[GabrielNagy]

Watch the video from Sydney - there is clear that something is not good with Kakhi (he also did a gesture with his hands like it is over) after his attempt on 220kg!

I could be wrong, but I think he made that gesture after the other guy missed his last attempt.  That made him the winner, therefore, he didn't need to do more to win, so he didn't.  In a situation like that, where your entire focus is on winning the competition, I think it would be pretty hard to be focused enough to try a lift "just for you" after you had already won.  Although Dimas tried it...and failed

No I meant his face... after his good attempt on 220kg! Have a look at it! The gesture you are talking about is clear!

yes but not for greece. he will start for georgia. i have heard it from the cousin of Suli Ilirjan (ALB). he train in germany

He will not participate at 2008 olympics. He cant participate with other country and he is not going to participate with Hellas (Hellas= Greece).
