Till this point London Olympics have consumed the dreams of world’s two knowned athletes
and latest victim is Egypt's Khalil Mahmoud Abir Abdelrahman was pinned to the ground as she tried to lift a whopping 151kg.
The 332lbs WEIGHT took its toll on diminutive 5ft 3in athlete who was later helped away in
wheelchair. She followed the painful exit of South Korean Olympic weightlifter Jaehyouk Sa, reigning champion in the men’s 77kg category Jaehyouk Sa, who was forced to abandon his competition on Wednesday after his elbow snapped back while he was attempting a 162kg lift.
At one moment she was in a sound position to clear the lift but moments before completing the feat she was pinned to ground when the bar struck her chest forcing her to fall to the ground.
Medical teams came to her aid and after some time she was helped off the platform at the London ExCeL centre in a wheelchair.
It was her final attempt at the lift as she tried to keep up with eventual winner Svetlana
Podobedova of Kazakhstan, silver medalist Natalya Zabolotnaya of Russia and Belarussian Iryna Kulesha in third.
