Who's going? I would've liked to go and spectate, but I can't.

Nikhil is lifting and I'm psyched for him. I qualified via wildcard spot at regionals, now I wish I was going.

I'll be watching from the interwebs also. I qualified but decided not to go due to injury.

I'm really excited to watch the 63 women. Should be some fierce competition.

I want to watch little Herc hit some big numbers too. There's no way I could go this year anyway even though I qualified. There's always next year but I mean, its either lose to Ray Williams or lose to Dennis Cornelius. LOL. I'd have more fun just spectating.

Sounds like Nikhil killed it. Didn't get to watch it.

Was watching the Tuesday Primetime session just now...

The male announcer was really annoying. What is with asking all these questions with painfully obvious answers?

Was he as bad as the Australian women they always have announcing at worlds? She's awful.

Not as bad.

That Australian woman said something like "I'm watchin' 'im like a hawk (hoouuuck)". My wife says to me "Did she just say 'watching him like a whore'?!"

Way too many missed second attempts on the primetime 63kg women.

"Meg, how important is an opening lift for a competitor, for not only putting a good score on, but just sort of getting the jitters out of the way?"

This is like listening to Bob Varsha announce F1 races.

I've been watching a bit here and there, I find it very enjoyable.
I don't watch equipped lifting, finding it extremely boring, but this raw lifting is something I can relate to.
Even if they all lift much, much, much, much heavier weights than me.
