The 2017 IWF World Championships are right around the corner and we're starting to get an idea of who will be representing each country on the World Championship stage in Anaheim, California.

You can find the full list of entries is here, and it'll shed some light on who we can expect to see. While the entries list is not the same as the start list, the athletes which get named to actually compete will come from this list.

Yesterday we took a look at some of the notable women's competitors, and today we'll take a look at the men.

Along with the competitors representing Team USA, here are some other names you may want to keep an eye on as they take to the world stage to represent their countries in less than a month! 

CJ Cummings (69, USA) 322kg entry total

Harrison Maurus (77, USA) 332 kg entry total 

Harrison’s prep for the WWC is continuing to improve, as you can tell with this PR 190kg/418lb clean + front squat + jerk complex.

Angelo Bianco (77, USA) 333 kg entry total

Daniel Godelli (77, ALB) 360 kg entry total

Mohamed Ihab Youssef (77, EGY) 365 kg entry total

Youssef has shown himself to be not only a top competitor but one of the more entertaining weightlifters to watch as well. I mean, have you seen his mobility poses?

Jordan Cantrell (85, USA) 340 kg entry total

Cantrell with a 200kg/440lb PR power jerk from the blocks!

Kianoush Rostami (85, IRI) 390 kg total

This total is 25 kg higher than the other top entries in the 85 kg weight class! Earlier this year Rostami was taken off of the national team due to his lack of participation in training camps. However, he seems to be back in top shape to represent his country well!

Nathan Damron (94, USA) 354 kg entry total

Here is Damron with a savage 215kg/474lb clean PR from the blocks! 

Colin Burns (94, USA) 369 kg entry total

Sohrab Moradi (94, IRI) 413 kg entry total 

This absolute beast has an entry total that is 23 kg higher than the other top entries following him in the 94 kg weight class. 

The 105’s are showing to be a bit more competitive with the entry totals with three lifters entering at 400 kg, two at 401 kg and one lone lifter at 405 kg. But before we name the top entries, we can’t forget about our favorite 105’s from Team USA.
