Tagline:
Celebrating last-place finishes at the Olympics. Because they're there, and you're not.
No kidding. The last place woman in my weight class lifted 165 kg. I don't think my wrists would tolerate the jerk part of clean and jerk under almost any weight, and the most I can do as a simple overhead lift (starting from a rack, not the floor) is about 18 kg. I'm working on that, but the tiny incremental improvements I make won't add up to that much weight even if I do it for many years.
I remember an episode of "Dharma and Greg" in which the main male characters watching the winter Olympics drunkenly decided that four man toboggan racing didn't look so hard. They got in a canoe and slid down a snowy hill. Not a good plan.
