The International Weightlifting Federation , due to its common way , has processed to poll from its web-users  in order to select the best man- woman lifters in 2009 . And since the criteria of this polling , has been considered the title of the weightlifters who have been participated in Go Yang World Championships , from the  best 15 man-woman weightlifters in the past year mentioned in the list , 13 people are from Asia . In the Women portion , in the 69kg. that Avdalyan Nazik from Armenia is considered as one of the candidates , the other people are from . China , Kazakhstan and S. Korea .

The presence of Jung Miran’s name once more  in the mentioned list  , is a considerable point in the voter’s minds in women’s category . The Korean weightlifter of +75 kg. who has ever created honors and proud in the International competitions since 2005 , improved her own Clean& Jerk record for 1 kilo in Go Yang last year. However , it seems that the fortune of Pedovedova the Kazakh weightlifter of 75kg. to be more than the other to be elected as the best lifter in 2009 who could improved the world records for the four times in Go Yang World Championships. She is 23 years old. The Kazakh weightlifter was nominated as the best weightlifter in aspect of points with 329.98 points in the World Senior Championships .

In the Men’s portion , there are 7 Asian weightlifters to be selected as the best weightlifter in 2009 . In fact  Dolega Marcin ,the champion of 105 kg category from Poland is the single non - Asian in the list . It can be said that choosing the best among the men is more difficult than among the women in 2009 . Although , the championship of An Yong-kwon from S. Korea in +105 kg. in the absence of the famous champions of that category , was completely unexpected in the Go Yang Competitions , we can’t pass easily by the names like  Long Qingquan , LIAO Hui, LU Xiaojun , LU Ynog from China and Sedov Vladimir from Kazakhstan  . It’s remarkable that the title of the best weightlifter in the aspect of the points reached to LU xiaojun the lifter of 77kg. category from China within the World Senior Championships who was the single record breaker in the Senior competitions. He could improve the records of Snatch and total of that  category . He was selected as the best man weightlifter with 476.29 points in those battles. 

Anyway , it seems that the Asians can  gain valuable titles again in 2009 best weightlifter polling so as to indicate their  competency for everybody . This result was not possible if the procedure of the long-term programs of the AWF authorities and of course the seriousness of the Asian countries haven’t been constituted which cause the motivation of people towards weightlifting grows increasingly day to day and to be felt its importance towards enhancing its international credit more than before.
