Let's Hear It For...
Aug. 20th, 2008 07:27 amAustrian weightlifters competing for Germany!
On MSNBC in the middle of the night they showed Matthias Steiner win the gold in the 105+ KG group. His clean and jerk was over 500 pounds. I have to say I liked that he had to adjust himself in his tight singlet before every lift.
Sadly, he lost his wife in an auto accident last year. I guess the gold medal helps, but could he use some consoling? :-)
Hmm. How hard is it to become a weightlifter? Am I too old?
