Olympic (Dreams) Weightlifting

[Lost_BMW]

One for Halb and co . .

a heads-up in case you've missed it but tonight on BBC1 at 10.45 is Olympic Dreams which focuses on atheletes preparing for the games - including weightlifting!

Should be interesting.

Was it? It came on and I turned off. I didn't even thinking aboot weightlifting. The only ones I am interested in, wrestling and weightlifting get short shift from the telly schedulers and I don't wish to watch crap aboot boats or football or the like

well worth a watch.

I heard the trailer and didn't now who they might focus on and found it was a 14 year old girl. Might not sound promising but, god, for a small kid like her she's good! The technique shown in the training clips was interesting and she can lift way more than anyone would imagine (there's one bit of her front squatting so it shows how strong she is - not just technique).

To be honest the stuff about the others - esp. the rowers was interesting too.
