The 24-year-old Hungarian fell to the floor in shock, shaking and crying out in pain.Hungary's coaching staff and competition officials rushed to Baranyai's aid as he lay trembling on the floor, his arm limp and twisted out of position.Baranyai was carried off the platform on a stretcher and taken by ambulance to a hospital for evaluation and treatment."There was a dislocation of the elbow but the bones are not broken," Hungarian weightlifting federation boss Tamas Feher said. "They just put it right back, but I think he's lost the rest of the year."Feher said Baranyai was OK and watching the rest of Wednesday's weightlifting competition on TV from a his bed at China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing."It looked really awful," said Benny Johansson, a technical controller at the event. "If the ligaments are damaged then it could take several months to heal."He said elbow and knee injuries are the most common injuries in the sport, "but the number of injuries are quite small in comparison with the number of athletes. You cannot even compare it with football for example."A former judo wrestler from Oroszlany, Hungary, Baranyai was competing with the so-called B-group of lifters in the 77-kg division; the top contenders in the A-group were set to enter the contest later Wednesday.Hungary's lone lifter in the Olympics, he was ninth in both the snatch and clean and jerk in the European Championship earlier this year and placed 33rd in last year's world championship.He cleared his first snatch attempts at 140 kg (308 pounds) and 145 kg (319 pounds) before loading up the bar at 148 kg — a relatively modest weight in top-level competition. The world record in the snatch is 173 kg (463 pounds).In the snatch, the bar is pulled overhead in one continuous motion as the lifter settles into a squat, then rises with arms extended. Baranyai was in the squat position when his elbow popped."He's 24 so at least he has two more Olympics," Feher said. "He's our biggest hope for London 2012."

"It's not bodybuilding, it's not powerlifting, and it's not a strongman competition. Olympic weightlifting is two lifts: a one-motion lift called the snatch and a two-motion lift called the clean-and-jerk. They test more than just muscle." Nice piece, hits all the main points.

Russia's state-run television showed footage Monday of the tough-talking prime minister's visit to the Far East. Reports said Putin aided a program to track the tigers by shooting an escaped 5-year-old female cat with a tranquilizer gun. **Ya got to admit, it's hard not to like this guy! However, I think he and the tiger have a lot in common.**

Forget the overhyped Michael Phelps, the real strongman in the Beijing Olympics is American decathlon gold medalist Bryan Clay. A short visit to his website made me an instant fan. I particularly like the fact that he takes time to answer questions from his fans.

This article shows how similar the movement patterns of the Olympic lifts and Stone lifting are AND the benefits of Olympic lifts and Stone lifting are as well. Strongman is a sport whose movements yield excellent carryover to many sports, and coaches are noticing this at many levels. Stone lifting is one of the best strongman events for athletes!

Just because Musharraf is out doesn't mean things are going to get better. In fact, it's a mistake to view any country, but specifically Pakistan, as the product of a single strongman.
