Why is this man screaming? Is he just giving that “I AM SO STRONG, WITNESS MY POWER, EARTHLINGS” battle cry that you often witness at weightlifting competitions? No. No he is not. Are you sure you want to find out? Make absolutely sure, because once you click on “continue reading” you will never be able to erase the image from your mind. I don’t recommend clicking if you’ve just eaten.
Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai dislocated his elbow. And by dislocated, I mean, HE TURNED IT INSIDE OUT.
The article mentions “It was not immediately clear how serious the injury was.” REALLY? Because I think it’s pretty crystal f*cking clear that this is the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen.
AHHHHH!!! THERE IS A VIDEO TOO…but seriously, you really really really don’t want to watch this. They show it again and again in slow motion from different angles, and needless to say, I’m going to smell like vomit for the next few weeks because of it. Though, I will say, if you just want to listen to the audio, it’s pretty funny listening to the Australian (New Zealander?) announcer who says “Oh that’s just awful” repeatedly, and then when the slow motion instant replay comes on, he says “oh no oh no, we don’t want to see it again…AW NO!” Finally, he clears his throat (as if to swallow some vomit that just came up), and says “we don’t need to see this anymore, thank you.” Also, note how efficient the Chinese are with their blockades.
IF YOU CAN’T BARE TO WATCH IT ON FILM, SEE THE ENTIRE EVENT CAPTURED IN PICTURES HERE. I’m not really sure what’s worse though. Godspeed.
