Olympic weightlifting accident

ahhhhhhhhhh ew ahh

ouch

the blockers did well, its like they expected it to happen
but why do the tv stations keep playing it when the sportscasters keep saying they don't want to see it again?

"oh, that must have really hurt. i don't want to see it again but if you look at the replay you can see..."

most painful thing i went through was an ear infection, i cant imagine this kinda pain >_<
*pats better*
ow

what has been seen cannot be unseen. i refuse to watch.

Caption: I hate when this happens!

Ouch! Thats not cool.

it made his soul stronger... but that elbow will never be the same. heal swift muscle man, theres always competitive thumb wrestling and video games.

told myself not to click, as I opened my lunch, took bite of lunch, watched this, felt ill.
poor guy.

Yea I know it must hurt and all that but one second
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Did NO ONE else crack up at this!? The way the people run in with the boards and stuff, its on worldwide television, we're going to be seeing it for a verrrrrrrrrrrrry long time, plus the fact you know he is going to brake his arm makes it more funny when he does :P
Anyone for a bit of Schadenfreude?

How is this news? How does this help the human species? Current community, vote better.

Suck it up son, this the Olympics. There's no crying in the Olympics.

I cant watch.

They showed like 3 more replays after the commentators asked them to stop. lol!

ooooooooooo I can feel that

Poor guy.

OMG!! I think I might be sick

Goo!! Change the Channel, Change THE CHANNEL

I think the images and sound are supplied to indivudual broadcasters by the Chinese host broadcaster. Then the broadcaster in your country - NBC (in the US and online) and the BBC (in the UK) put their own commentary in.

This would explain why the australian commentators on this footage are asking not to see the clip again from another four angles in action replay and their wishes are being ignored.

But the number of replays of the poor guy in agony is a bit overkill.

For a socialist country the Chinese clearly know a thing or two about popular commercial television - keep playing that money shot over and over.

There's a budding Big Brother exec producer working on the team covering the Olympics over there.

I'm never going to lift anything over 5 pounds ever again! I feel sorry for my future kids.

omg...poor guy

Good job chinese censors! You certainly achieved your purpose by setting 5 guys with posters and not taking care of the 4 slow-motion repetitions.

Wait... arms aren't supposed to look like this?

Why have alot of injuries been going on lately?

It seems this guy didn't have his vitamin C.

Definately should get a Gold for "Most Worldwide Cringes" in a single event!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ouch.... His first Olympics too.

I'm not an expert in weights but from what I saw... when you know you cannot lift something that heavy... aren't you taught what to do so that something like this won't happen? I think this guy said, "fuck it!" knowing it was too heavy for him and look at the consequence.

I'm sorry... but what a... :: blank ::

Shit that stuff hurts, I've done my shoulder but not an elbow, ouch... Dislocations definitely hurt worse than breaks, but both at the same time is no joke either. I broke/dislocated my ankle coming off a horse and I sat down, looked down at my foot (all the way over to the right an an angle) and thought, "Gee it's not supposed to be there is it?" I just reached down and jerked it back over in place without a second thought, but every time I tell that story people cringe... =)

anyone see how it just like flew back like rubber?

God, I hope this doesn't end his career. poor guy.

very fast with the cover boards, go China!

OMFG!! I watched Janos Baranyai mishap video at http://sowonder.net/video/?d=Janos_Baranyai_mishap
Wow.... No comments!..

tough break...i like how they block the cameras when the medics move in

wow

Wurr!

I am NOT watching it. Notwatchingnotwatching....

oooooh, holy shit that's horrible.

holy shit! i want to watch, but know i don't need too.

wow that is the most painful looking sports injury. i agree that was an awesome execution on the part of the Chinese blocker guys, but why the the TV station feel the need to keep replaying it! uh i think i might be sick

i wonder if this is a career ending injury?

Quick recovery my man. I'm sorry the whole world had to see you in such agony. Maybe, the whole world can send you a good brust of energy(ok burst might be a poor choice of words). and you will heal in a snap( Oooops) Maybe, next time you'll break (awww)a record. That's a stretch(too, much?).

OUCH!

thats nothin....i've seen a picture of a weight lifter having a prolapse. that is TRULY horrible

Give the Chinese hosts some credit for the fact they launched straight into a well practiced routine when it all went wrong there! They covered the man and took him off almost instantly.

That looks painful. Wow.

So did the fall in the Men's All Around -- Gymnastics...the Japanese guy on the rings....ouch.

The steward on the far right hand side doesn't know where to look!

OMG, I don't even consider myself to be squeamish and that made me cringe. Hope he's OK!

I've heard that a dislocation hurts worse than a break. But the good thing is the doctor can just slip his arm back into the shoulder joint.

I literally can't remember a time where my jaw has dropped so low for so long...

that poor poor guy...just snapped like a twig!

man.

Dammit I clicked play!!!!

Wrong wrong wrong wrong

I couldn't resist, damn it you can't unsee it when you've watched it. They must be pushing themselves to the absolute limit, amazing.

Ouch, that doesn't look good

I feel sorry for the guy. The most serious injury I've had was a hyper-extended knee. I couldn't imagine how much this would hurt.

I dislocatd my knee recently, and ouchhhhh does stuff like this hurt. No lie.

OMG! Owwwww... What a pity!

oUCH! poor guy..

Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!

I heard about this but hadn't seen the photos. That poor man, no wonder he was blubbing.
