Ilya Ilyin hits a 195kg Snatch off Blocks
Only 5kg of his 200kg Block Snatch from before London 2012.
This weekend (July 19/20) he, along with other big names like Almas Uteshov, Maya Maneza, Zulfiya Chinshanlo and Svetlana Podobedova, are scheduled to compete in the Anatoly Khrapaty memorial tournament in Kazakhstan (via).
The result of this competition will determine the teams for the Asian Games and World Championships (although I am pretty sure Ilya will lift at worlds).
