BEIJING -- Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai dislocated his elbow while trying to snatch 148kg in the men's 77kg Olympic competition on Wednesday, a sports official said.
"He injured his elbow, it's a dislocation. He'll be all right but it's just an ugly thing," said Sam Coffa, president of the jury at the competition and first vice president of the international weightlifting federation.
Several lifters have injured themselves over the past couple of days as the competition moves toward the higher weight classes, where athletes try to hoist up barbells weighing as much as 187kg in the clean and jerk.

Now, I woke up and saw them talking about it on MSNBC's Olympic coverage, all grimacing and complaining about the shocking nature of the video, and said they wouldn't show it -again.- This leads me to believe that there's a record of the incident somewhere - I can't seem to find the video, though. Has anyone else happened across this?
