OUCH!?!

I find it both fascinating and amusing how grown men and women spend most of their time lifting these things everyone calls "weights", just for what? To be called the strongest man/woman in the world. I've been watching the Olympics since it started and to watch these men and women dressed in these ridiculously tight and funny outfits, competing against each other to see who can lift the most weights...how funny! And let's not forget the background support in the form of their coaches/mentors "giving" their utmost support...where sometimes it works..and sometimes it backfires. But there was always one thing that bore in my mind, reminding me how dangerous it can be if something should go wrong.

And this confirmed my belief. *WARNING: PROCEED WITH CAUTION.*



"This is the moment Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai's first Olympics ended in agony when he dislocated his right elbow in the ugliest moment yet of the Olympic weightlifting competition.

Baranyai was trying to snatch 148kg in his third lift in the men's 77kg division, when his elbow popped out of its socket.

No longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backward. The 24-year-old Hungarian fell to the floor in shock, shaking and crying out in pain.

Hungary's coaching staff and competition officials rushed to Baranyai's aid as he lay trembling on the floor, his arm limp and twisted out of position."

This is no laughing matter folks, even seeing the photos give me goosebumps!
