Thanks for that!

Really feel sorry for the guy, first olympics, 4 years of training, damn, not a good way to end it.

But, it was incredible good to watch, best injury I've ever seen.

Here's a slideshow of it, man I really want to see a video of the lift!:


EDIT: found it - Olympic Weightlifting Accident Video

Here's a video. So sad, but I love how China quickly shielded the athlete from public view.

Thats what happens when you hold on to something with a wide grip when its far away from your center (look at the top view). I understand its the Olympics so you fight to save the lift, but when you do that, this is what can happen.

It really looks worse than it is. Dislocation often hurts like a bitch, but he will live to lift at the elite level again.

Looks like Hungary or someone has requested the video pulled. I was going to show the wife and now the video is gone no matter where I look. Can't say I blame 'em whoever they are.

I feel so bad for that guy. I shattered my elbow before and have a ton of stitches and screws to prove.
