Weightlifting Accident at the Olympics

***WARNING: DISTURBING GRAPHIC IMAGES AND VIDEO BELOW***

Janos Baranyai of Hungary injured himself during his third lift at the men’s 77kg Group B snatch weightlifting competition at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

This is the 24-year-old Hungarian first Olympics and he ended up in an agony as he dislocated his right elbow during the Olympic weightlifting competition. Baranyai was lifting up weights 148kg, when his elbow went out of its socket. Unable to support the weight, Baranyai’s right forearm bent backwards. Officials said that there was no fracture, but added that Baranyai would not be able to lift weights again.
