A russian guy on another forum informs me that this is the current classification chart (equipped, with all the totals on the 2nd tab). A couple of things on that sheet dont make sense to me - if you put the text in the weight category cell into Google Translate it comes up as "Triathlon - Weight Category 67.5 kg". Secondly, i thought that MSIC were Masters Of Sport International Class - i.e. lifters who were competetive (top 3 or so) in international competitions (i.e. IPF worlds). But most of those totals listed in the MSIC column wouldnt even get you in the top TEN at the worlds...something doesnt seem right about that, especially for the russians. Looking at the MS totals, i would expect almost all russian lifters over the age of 16 to be MS looking at the results of their junior nats etc. and comparing then to the MS totals on that sheet, which look low too. It definately reflects judging and testing though from what i can tell - the descriptions of the criteria to acheive each level refer to the standard of judges and the level of testing that were at the meet where the total was acheived. I have asked the above of the guy. But it doesnt seem quite right to me - by that chart i should be looking at running MS cycles. Im pretty sure that would be WAAAY too much for me. Attachments:

If you read the notes at the bottoms, there is a caveat for MCMK - you must place 1st at the Russian Nationals or Russian Cup and compete at Worlds/Euros.
I think since Sheiko stopped being coach the ratings have been progressively reduced (for funding?). Just because you are nearly at MS level for an 82 doesn't mean an MS routine will work for you anymore I guess. Drugs is an obvious factor in that...

Is anyone aware of a chart for women, to figure out the classifications? Just wondering where I am. (other than at peace in the Universe, that is!)
Thanks

Women's classes are in that spreadsheet also.

Oh, thanks. I guess I read it wrong. Appreciate the help!
