Canada with the GOLD!!!!

 

First time watching a full competition of weightlifting and it was actually lots of fun.  Very strategic.  Full of emotion.  

It is.  You sometimes get absolute skullduggery as well.

Loredana Toma should be pisseeeeeed. She would have sleepwalked through this category.

Maude Charon really getting the opportunity of a lifetime thanks to the country doping bans and the four per country max. Full marks for taking advantage of this somewhat ridiculous situation.

Not entirely unthinkable to have a B group medalist today. He'll need some luck of course, but 342kg is not uncompetitive at all.

Hmmm, let's hope not  Todays start is one of my most anticipated events of the whole Olympics (for obvious reasons). Don't get me nervous now.

Andreev silver, the Indonesian dude bronze

Moment of truth. Let's see if Andreev can hold his composure, when it matter.
