Weightlifting

Just been watching the lifter from Kiribati, doing his dance routine after every lift. The guy's been enjoying himself, which is great to see.

Yeah, I watched him earlier. He should be on a 'you're so money supermarket' advert.

I wonder if they fired the useless Aussie commentator and replaced him with another one.

These guys are ridiculously strong in this 105kg A group.

Time for the beasts tonight the 105kg+ group.

Love it when you get to the heavier weights and the bar starts flexing in the clean and jerk

Watching it now. Saw the 105kg last night, and the winner went for and got a new OR.

Nice to see the weightlifting end on a new WR even if the crowd was out of order with the booing.

Felt sorry for the Iranian who got a new WR in the snatch yet came away with no medal.

Was really impressed with the 20 y/o Belorussian lad in the 105 kg today. Not huge in volume (unlike Nagy and the Teipei fella), but pure condensed strength. The Uzbeks are something else.
