    I had no idea until recently that some of the best power lifters are former gymnasts. I guess gymnasts builds up such incredible strength that, when a woman is no longer able to bounce around on a balance beam, it's a natural transition for her to go into heavy lifting.

    I would totally get into powerlifting but I wouldn't want it to interfere with my distance running.

    @whynotshesaid: This is olympic weightlifting and not powerlifting. They are two very different sports (clean and jerk and the snatch verses squat, deadlift and benchpress). But, yes, ex-gymnasts make for killer oly lifters as they know how to generate bucketfuls of power (oly lifting is all explosive hip flextion) and have ridiculous body awareness, which is helpful when doing seriously complex oly lifts. If you ever want to confuse yourself, grab a broomstick and a intro book on the snatch and clean and jerk. Good times!

    @TheBumbler: Oops, thanks for clarifying that for me! I don't know nearly as much about the sport as I'd like, esp. as it kicks so much ass! I take it you are a weightlifter then?

    @whynotshesaid: It's a crazy sport! The speed at which they do the lifts is insane. I wish I had found the sport when I was younger because that really does make a difference. Comparatively, I look like I'm doing the lift under water... it's all very, very slow. I was introduced to olympic lifting through CrossFit a couple of years ago and now it's one of my favourite skills to work on!

    Though Yuliya considered herself quite the fashionista, she had to admit that the new large shoulder pads just didn't suit her.

    This is the single greatest example of why "pussy" should no longer mean "weak".

    Maybe it's the body oil and lighting that is causing that strange shimmer.

    @EvilVaginaTroll: Would she end up in the ER because someone needed her to perform an operation with her vagina? Cuz surely you're not implying that her vagina of steel would be harmed by a tiny thing like a crushed (nay, vaporized) shot glass, are you?
