Dunkin' on the celing. Member 5200, 224 posts SQ 152.5, BP 160, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 129kgs UnEq | Has any weightlifting been on the TV or red button? I've not see any yet bit of a joke when there's multiple repeats of horse dancing etc | ||

EDIT: The Men's 77kg was on there - wonder if it has been removed due to the injury? I did think that. But surely they can edit out the lift easy enough? Anyway just finished with 85s. Amazing finish. | ||

 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6845 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | The men's 77s was just as good!! Some great lifting and competition in the women's classes as well!! I wasn't really looking forward to the lifting in these Games what with all the WADA / Russia stuff, but it has been great so far; world records a plenty and some brilliant competition!!! Really enjoying it!! | ||

Amazing finish. I doubt they're allowed to, as it appears to be OBS Coverage and not BBC...Dunno for sure though (shrugs). | ||

Even then I'm surprised it's allowed - but I suppose if you allow the Ladies to cover their hair then you must offer the Gents the same Courtesy, even if it is not Faith related. | ||

Bit disappointed in Sonny's performance. 2/6 shouldn't really be acceptable at that level, however, I'm sure he knows that. | ||
