While being warmly applauded by Iranian and many other spectators, Iran\u2019s super-heavyweight weightlifter waved his hand at the judges to express his disagreement with their ruling before leaving the stage with almost tearful eyes.<\/p>\n

Salimi, together with his coaches, approached the judges table for several times to voice their dissatisfaction though the complaints were not addressed by the jury panel.<\/p>\n

Much to Iranians\u2019 chagrin, President of the International Weightlifting Federation and a member of the International Olympic Committee Tam\u00e1s Aj\u00e1nthe, who was standing near the judges\u2019 table all through the event and had witnessed Salimi\u2019s attempts, merely responded to the protest of Iranian reporters who accused him of forcing the jury to reject Salimi’s lifting with a \u2018goodbye!\u2019 remark.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Salimi\u2019s failure in clean and jerk had opened the door for Georgia\u2019s Talakhadze who secured the gold medal by lifting 247 kilograms. Enjoying a great deal of confidence in his number three try, the now-rivalless Georgian lifted 258 on the clean and jerk to set a new world record in the over 105-kilogram weightlifting category with a total of 473 kilos.<\/p>\n

Gor Minasyan of Armenia bagged silver with a total of 451 kilos and Georgia’s Irakli Turmanidze stood on the bronze podium with 448 total kilograms. \/MNA<\/p>\n
