Who was the most extreme error in height measurement in Olympic lifting ever? I believe it has to be Tuau Lapua. He was incorrectly crowned the shortest Olympian in London 2012 listed at 140cm, but he is actually taller than most -62kg competitors. He stood closer to 158-160cm.

Should there be a men's -60kg and men's -54kg as well as a women's -47kg? Bantamweight Olympic champions are unbelievably strong.

Olympic lifter Arli Chontey would dominate -54kg and weighted dip with 165kg to finally reach 3x bodyweight.

Will we ever see a 3x bodyweight added dip? So far the closest is Ben "Bench" Crowley at 175kg added weight and 63.5kg bodyweight.

-66kg category being the lowest men's class is diabolical. ISF should add a lower weight class. Multiple athletes have achieved 3x bodyweight clean and jerk in IWF Olympic.
