Opinion of this olympic photograph?

He reminds me of Kim Jong-Un.

That is actually the world's strongest woman, Zhou Lulu

I like the OP, every so often sports can transcend politics.

Huh. Why are most of the top women's weightlifters Asian? Is it the same for men?

And yeah, that is what the Olympics are all about. That and bragging to Chad about how many medals we have.

Not sure why that is but the weight she put up was just incredible. She clean and jerked 411lbs!!!

IIRC, the general area around Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Armenia produces the strongest big men. China seems to dominate the smaller weight divisions.

Yep, after a very long absence I just started lifting weights again several months ago.  I was all proud of myself that I got my bench press over 300lbs, seeing stuff like that certainly knocked me down a few pegs.  Never tried that olympic style lifting but think I would snap my neck trying that stuff- too many moving parts.
