At the end of World Junior Weightlifting Competitions , 68 medals , totally including 31 gold , 21 silver and 16 bronze medals were belonged to Asians .
The considerable point of the competitions was the difference between the World records and the weights lifted by the champions in various weight categories . Firstly, no record was broken and secondly there was 20 –25 kg. Difference between the world records and the weights that were lifted by the champions in Bucharest. In some weight this difference reached to 40kg. And this shows some unpleasant reality. Of course in both Junior Women and junior men, some valuable title were belonged to the Asians either in teams or individuals, but we should accept the level of the World Junior Championship was not in the expected measures. And it means the current technical distance between the Junior Champions and Senior Champions has grown longer.
