The larger they are, the harder they fall...
Norway has an olympic weightlifter in the heaviest weight class. He finished 10th in Atlanta 8 years ago. He was supposed to compete in Sydney, but tested positive for steroids - it was later discovered that one of his diet supplement powders had been contaminated, and he was cleared. Because of this, he was really eager to get a placement in these olympics.
Today, he was trying to lift 205 kg when his legs buckled. He dropped the weights and fell to the floor with a torn thigh ligament. He'll lift weights again in a year if he's lucky, never if he's unlucky, and his weightlifting career might be over.
I just feel for him right now.
