Conversation on a fascinating topic of predicting performance in Olympic weightlifting.
Shyam Chavda explains his approach to predicting what totals will be required to place or medal in the main lifting competitions. The paper came about before the Tokyo Olympics when Shyam tried to perform competitor analysis for his athlete Cyrille Tchatchet II. As a refugee, Cyrille could not compete for 5 years, leaving his potential unexplored.
Shyam Chavda is an experienced coach, technical tutor, and certified ASCC, CSCS, CES, and MSc in Applied Sport and Exercise Science professional at the London Sport Institute, Middlesex University.
