South Korean weightlifter dislocates elbow at London Olympics

Read about it here: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olympics-fourth-place-medal/weightlifter-sa-jae-hyouk-dislocates-elbow-london-olympics-083825819--oly.html

Sa Jae-Hyouk is 77kg (170 pounds). He was trying to lift 162kg (357 pounds) when he dislocated his elbow.

Ouch. I would never try to lift double my body weight. I wouldn't even try to lift half of my body weight! I guess I will never understand the appeal of weightlifting.

There is a picture of his dislocated elbow on the article. I didn't include it here for copyright reasons.

Here's the video :
