What's this?

Surprised that IMAR competing at 79kg


I wonder if he has plans on getting to 86kg or just didn't want to worry about holding his weight down for a few months.

For reference the Olympic weight classes in that range are 74kg and 86kg for 2020. For the WTT in 2019 IMAR was a finalist lost a best of 3 to world bronze (former world champ) Jordan Burroughs. One would think he'd be holding steady at 74kg with plans on 2020. I suppose he could have grown and with the intention of being stronger for the Olympic Team Trials only cut down to 74kg when he would have to in April.

  May be opting for 79 spot this year since it should be open -- Rokie08 10/12/2019 12:57PM
  Except 79 kg is not an Olympic weight. ** -- hokietony 10/12/2019 09:56AM
