Olympic Weightlifting Mishap
Posted on August 16th, 2008 by Calvin
I can’t believe I missed this piece of news last Wednesday. If you also didn’t know, 24-year-old Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai suffered a horrible injury during the 77kg men’s weightlifting event.
The first time Olympian dislocated his right elbow as he was trying to snatch 148kg in his third lift. No longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backward. Ouch!! Hope the dude’s alright.
It looked really awful. Check out the rest of the photos (Warning: Very Graphic).
Just awful.
