Shattered Australian weightlifter Kyle Bruce believes he was robbed of a Commonwealth Games gold medal and has questioned whether the vocal home crowd may have influenced a controversial judges’ decision in the men’s 81kg event in Birmingham.
“I don’t know how they could turn that over? If it wasn’t a good lift, I feel like they would have made the decision on the spot live. I celebrated and was extremely happy and to have that taken away is pretty hard.“It’s good to review things but I also feel like it brings up a bit too much technicality in the sport and it deters people wanting to do the sport.“To have it and then 30 seconds to a minute later not, it’s absolutely gut-wrenching.
Murray was asked whether he felt he deserved the gold medal, considering Bruce was adamant he had made the superior lift. After a short pause, he said weightlifting needed to look at how it reviewed lifts.
