>Armenia, that made this webm all the better
posting a couple webms from the olympics, picked while shitposting in the /owl/ threads
>happy coach is actually the coach with the worst history of doping his athletes in weightlifting history, not just because he does it with all of them, but because they are all exposed at some point
This actually got him a medal, believe it or not.
Could have been a severe snap, but it turned out alright in the end.
On a happier note...
Group B, not a particularly impressive lift, but you should always be happy to avoid snap city
And his mirror opposite.
The closest we will get to a real life sad pepe.
What made him so sad? we will never know
He was a big guy.
The biggest of them all.
That's about all I have, the rest is mostly memeworthy material.
>>1482221
all that neck training paid off
>>1482241
Didn't train her back enough though.
>>1469679
what does the white flag mean
>>1477374
was this legit? i thought people were supposed to life it above their heads
>>1487550
It's raised when a jump is accepted, regardless of performance.
Red flag is raised for non-valid jumps of any kind.
see webm : jump is shit since she failed at the last moment and ended up running over the sand but she did not step on the plank, go too far sideways or anything so it was a legal jump. A shit one, but still.
>>1487551
It's a failed lift, but he is still happy about making it this far into the competition.
>>1481825
THE CUTEST!

What are those cuffs around her wrist and what are the for?
I know nothing of lifting and curious.
Are things that "assist" like that (assuming they are doing that) legal?
>>1481825
Haha, she's so cute.
>>1488700
you build up the muscles in em
>>1482592
lol really shows how intelligent these guys are trying to punch through those helmets
>>1481693
I always thought this was the most retarded kind of lift. Like why does anyone do this shit ever?
>>1488798
These and knee protections are legal because their main purpose is to protect the skin in case the bar falls at some point. When you have the bar over your hear and fail or do not let it fall properly, the part with grip can tear some skin if it touches some.
>>1489319
are you ready to feel?

>>1489329
Overall test of fitness, it uses most of your main muscles in your body.
t.-some random lifter who doesnt really know but loves this exercise
>>1489349
this is completely wrong
>>1488798
The wrist bands are there to protect the wrists; a big limitation in this sport is the fact that holding such high weights with such an arm angle creates massive amounts of shear force on your wrists. The bands therefore provide some support, making the movement less painful and less dangerous for the lifter.
You could argue that the knee wraps are for protection for skin abrasion, but the main reason is that they provide a slight amount of 'bounce' at the bottom of the squat part of the lift, making it slightly easier and lowers the pressure on the knee.
>>1489329
clean and jerk + snatch are some of the most technically difficult lifts to make. It requires absolute control and elite-level explosiveness.
its also one of the easiest sports to enjoy, since you either make the lift or you don't.
>>1489329
You know how they talk about ants lifting 5x their bodyweight, C+J is like a tiny chinese man lifting 2-3x his bodyweight over his head. You can squat a lot of weight but there's something that almost feels like conquest to say "I took something that weighed more than me and put it over my head"

>things "i take a jog every once in a while"-athletes say about real athletes
All elite athletics fucks up your body. Most triple jumpers never manage more than one olympics
>>1493965
There is no part on the bar where your pinky goes. Its individual for every person, mainly depending on arm lenght

They are, he failed his lift at what would probably be his last Olympics, so he went out with a bang.
imo, weightlifting is my favorite Olympic sport, because DAMN. The strength combined with the control needed to execute those lifts and not kill yourself is crazy. Plus that dude did a full backflip and he probably weighs almost 200kg.

>>1482221
Plates are specifically made so that they're tall enough to avoid crushing someone's head if it falls.
>>1490486
As for the knee braces. The skin abrasion and bounce things matter, but having that support helps prevent serious fucking knee injuries under such strain. Your knee, as it bends and under load, has many moving parts that could basically just collapse or shoot out sideways or not in the proper plane. Like a piece of wood splintering as it bends. Braces like this help keep that shit stable so that as it moves, it moves in line, rather than the immense weight forcing it sideways, etc.

Whether or not they would have actually won or lost, it would have been reported that they destroyed the competition, meanwhile actually getting punished behind closed doors if they in fact did lose.

the guy won bronze medal even though he didn't make it on his last attempt, he has a right to celebrate, y'know
>>1518894
keep your head in m8. Arms should be by your ears the whole time, don't let your back arch through on the snap down. Keep the knees straight as well and try to lift off your hands before your feet hit the ground. Not bad for what I'm assuming is a self taught backhandspring
>t. competitive youth gymnastics coach
>>1482207
that's great
all successful olympic weightlifters use large amounts of steroids; he's failed because Kazakhstan doesn't have the infrastructure to support a state-run doping system, complete with WADA evasion, like China is.

Yeah pretty much, but also that first one was extra cool from the drivers perspective, you could see every tiny little move to avoid hitting other cars while going round the corners and the reaction times for these movements to keep away from other cars moving closer
