I will update this periodically

Georgy Gardev coaches the Italian team
Mexican 56 kg bombed in snatch
Italian 56 kg Vito Dellino is absolutely skinny
Sergio Alvarez Cuba snatches 115 easy, has heavy knee wraps, says "vamos!"
Uzbekistan guy, tall with huge quads snatches 117, slight pressout
Sweet lift by Alvarez, 120 kg
Looks like Moira Lassen is working the warmup room
Yang from Taipei is wearing a  Kappa lifting suit, popular Asian clothing brand
Chinese Wu Jingbao has huge chest, just almost power snatched 120 kg in warmup
Indonesian Setiadi hung onto a 123 kg snatch, very nice lift, he's tiny
Long Quingwuan from China (Olympic Champ) snatched 125 kg narrow grip, bar high above head for a 56
Tunisian lifter, what, what? snatched 125 kg - surprising, sort of wild fast technique
Wu Jingbao snatches 125, deep squat, looks ready to win
Sergio Alvarez fails at 125 kg, I was cheering for him
Big chested guy is actually Quingquan, the tv had the name wrong
Tunisian guy looks like he's 5'3" almost snatched 128 kg
Up comes Quingquan looks like a superman, Clark Kent, almost lost 130 but fought for it
Wu Jingbao's turn, much leaner than Quingwuan and taller, fight!, misses 131 kg, here he comes again. looks like he bench presses too, snatches 131~ wicked
Quingquan snatches 132 and wins the snatch - NO actually they gave him 3 reds, commentators don't know why, ok minor pressout in the left arm

I am glad the Mexican guy redeemed himself in the jerk - 140 kg, trying 143 kg now, coach rubs his temples, doh
Uzbekistan guy jerks with a very narrow grip, like Boevksi, but not as solid overhead
Easy 147 for Alvarez, another wide jerker
Long is still warming up with 110 kg
Japanese guy is much better in the jerk than in the snatch - I have seen him before, 150 kg
Alvarez lifts 152 kg - well done, also lifts 154 kg but he looks like he deliberately oscillates the bar before jerking
Wu jerks 155, very happy, bouncing in the hallway
Long - no problem with 156 takes the lead, smiling
Wu can't lift 160 on first try, doesn't look confident, gives 161 kg a go, too much
Long does 162 but doesn't need it, haha.
Long is going for 169 kg world record
He cleans it, goes for the jerk, almost held it - woop woop beats chest, happy though he missed

I am surprised that Francis Luna Grenier of Canada is still in the 69 kg category. I thought he would have moved up.
In the article below it says that George Kobaladze is representing Canada - didn't realize he had become a citizen. I am out of touch with what's happening in Canada.

Missed most of the 62 kg snatch because of a rugby match

Here comes Bazarbayev from Turkmenistan - very low pull but makes 138 kg
Figueroa, Colombia the guy who's hand wouldn't hang onto the bar in Beijing does a fairly high pull and slower squat under - he's got long arms 139 kg success
Yang Fan has a muscular upper body simple 140 kg snatch as his opener
Irawan, Indonesia looks like he could still go to 56 pretty stocky and not as lean as the others but doing well 140 kg sn
Erol Bilgin from Turkey misses 140, right arm was not locked, not close, came close to dropping 140 kg on his knees
Hun-Min from Korea looks like he's in a pop band, out he comes for 141 kg, pulls it up, tries to balance it on his skull, no lift
The Iranian guy is quite thin, skinny legs and arms, almost full bar width snatch, not close with 141 kg, ends with 134 kg
Figueroa looks like he could have snatched the 141 if had another try, sort of slower than other lifters, pulls the bar high due to his height and long arms
Ding of China has major pecs, snatches 143 kg no problem
Fan, 144 kg, very lean
Ding , screeches like a myna bird, wicked snatch with 146 kg, which was too much for Yang
Ding actually looked angry after his 146 kg, like he was saying "in your face" to doubters

CJ
Hun-Min does a power jerk, CJ is his weaker lift though 155
After Bilgin's last CJ, Yang Fan is warming up wit 70 kg 2 cj's with it
Iranian the skinny has wide grip in both the pull and jerk, handles 161 kg
Lazaro from Cuba lifted 161 pretty easily
Diego Salazar, COL has veins popping out his arms and shoulders, presses out
Zulfugar Suleymanov is the brother of Hafiz Suleymanov (famous 56,59,64 lifter)
Figueroa no problem with 165 kg but he is denied for reasons I cannot see, but I'm a noob?
Korean can't jerk
Irawan has a strong jerk, he probably will win bronze
Iranian almost successful with 166 kg, couldn't recover from the split with 166 kg, kind of a pressout too
Lazaro almost got stuck in the clean - don't see much of that, his jerk was forward too far, actually does get stuck on the 3rd clean
Figueroa COL not much problem with 168 kg, kind of a casual lift
Ding is shaky with 170 kg, hard opener
This skinny Iranian is pretty nuts, went for 171 kg did not rack it
Rezazadeh is in the back sitting with the Iranian lifter
Ding is unable to stand up with 175 kg, goes into a wide stanced, deep deep squat
Yang Fan has a long pull up and then race down, doesn't hold the jerk with 175 kg so still in behind Ding
Irawan of Indonesia powerful little dude, solid jerk 175 kg 2nd overall
Ding 3rd attempt super hard recovery no chance at jerk that bodybuilder upper body isn't helping jerk the weight he still wins though because Yang Fan can't jerk 175 kg Yang looks visually shaken maybe dizzy, he ends up 3rd!
