Why the olympics is awesome, part XXIV

I love the olympics. The more obscure the sport, the more I enjoy it. You might enjoy this story about the heavyweight lifters:

and you can watch video of the entire competition here:

You might have to dig around a little. Direct links to the video are tough, but if you look for the A class 105+ Kg weightlifters then you can see it. Might want to fast forward to the last 20 minutes if you want to get straight to the good part.
enjoy.
