Mr. Charniga has posted his competition review of the 2012 Asian Championships Women's Classes

My favourite quote is "The first and most significant aspect of this power shift is that the Asian countries, especially the less affluent ones, do what the Europeans used to do, i.e., they out work the rest of the world. It used to be that you could easily recognize a lifter from Eastern Europe, who would be a medal contender, on sight or even smell. It was a guy who looked and even emitted an odor like he wore his workout clothes from morning until night. He would be unshaven, disheveled, and appear a little beat up from training morning to night. "
