Congratulations, TOM!

 
 I would like to congratulate my Belgian friend - great weightlifter Tom Goegebuer - on his superb competition at World Weightlifting Championships in Doha - 8th
place overall in men's 62 kg category (123.0+149.0 kg)!
 Now he has made a major step to correct a injustice of not being allowed to pretend to compete at Olympics.
 His 8th place should give him a place in Belgian Olympic A-team!
