Ever since the Oly Total event was announced for the Games there was immediate speculation about which athletes will win, along with some controversy due to cuts.

  • 2023 Semifinals 1RM Snatch
  • 2023 Open 1RM Thruster
  • 2022 Semifinals Clean Complex
  • 2022 Quarterfinals The “Other” Total -  Clean/Bench Press/Overhead Squat
