The women have been fierce this year. Great competition!
Great fun to see it all. I think this is probably the first Olympics where I can see a lot of the divisions thanks to the internet.
Talking heads were saying that it should have been a foul that her butt hit the ground on that snatch. if so, thats a pretty damning screen cap you got there.
The amount of weight that those tiny little women put up is downright humbling.
Dan,
The last lift shouldn't have counted - I think it's clear to everyone. But, it wouldn't have affected her placing (she would have gotten silver anyway) just the total.
