OK - these weren't going to compete anyway....

You don't see that coming

 

I very much enjoyed the sheer naivety of the Dutch Eurosport commentator, saying stuff like "She was caught doping in 2013 and had to take a break until 2015, so she's been clean for three years now". Haha, yeah. Because weightlifting is the sport where you can expect the winners to be clean
