[oldfella]

[blackhole]

[gridlock]

Its funny how the "curtain" drops once they realized something nasty happened.

 

[espskillz]

Ouch, great how they block it out of view but then they show it about 5 more times.

 

[elings]

OUCH!!!

Poor guy he was on the way to a good lift to

 

[Turk]

Ow!

Props to the blokes who came in with their little 'nothing to see here' shields though, they were quick, although i think someone may have noticed the big yellow stretcher in the backround.

Nasty all round, he'll be feeling that for awhile.

 

[Chrysler]

OMG! That's hard to watch.

Gah! Makes me never want to try olympic lifting again. I've certainly felt the tension on my elbows and shoulders in the bottom position of the snatch a few times.

He fucked up. He was pulling way more with one side as you can see the bar wasnt straight at all. During extension, he was at an off angle and ended up looping the bar back.

On the top view, you can see how far back the bar was relative to his shoulders. He should have let that shit go, but he held on to it and thats what happens when you try to hold onto a crappy snatch.

I dislocated my ankle before. It was twisted in a way in which the top of my foot was facing the side of my leg. It is extremely painful to have a dislocated bodypart. It was even more excruciating having it popped back into place....then the pain is followed by extreme relief....followed by a dull throbbing pain afterwards.

I can only imagine how this guy felt.....ugh.

 

[Sesshomaru]

Should note that he will live to lift at high levels again. It looks worse than it is.

 

[flexmaster]

i saw that yesterday as well. it sucks that it happened on such a broad stage...makes unexperienced people think weightlifting is more dangerous than it is. snatches are my favorite lift by far!

 

[PlateStacker45]

Damn that was quick! They've already managed to snatch (no pun intended) this video off every website on the net already !

 

[kfrost06]

I can only watch that one time.

Thats one more time than I can bare to watch. I saw the picture before the video started and turned it off. Seeing something like that stays with me for a long long time.
