Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis at 2008 Olympics Closing Ceremony

Below video is from a live performance by Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis at 2008 Olympics Closing Ceremony. Guitar legend Jimmy Page looks old and grey, but I guess we all can’t look young forever. Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis performed an old Led Zeppelin song Whole Lotta Love.

So that’s it for Beijing 2008 Olympics. As everything else, also the most important sport event of 2008 has come to an end and the closing ceremonies of 2008 Olympics were done the Chinese style again – grandiose.

As you can see from the video, Jimmy Paige, Leona Lewis, and David Beckham popped out of the Routemaster bus that circled the stadium in Beijing during the 2008 Olympics Closing Ceremony and the guitar started the tune of Whola Lotta Love. Quite amazing. There was also a major significance attached to it as the Olympic flag was being passed to the London Mayor Boris Johnson, because next Summer Olympics will be held in London, UK.

Janos Baranyai Dislocated Elbow – Video of Painful Weightlifting Accident

Janos Baranyai Dislocated Elbow - Painful Weightlifting Accident

Mother-fucking ouch! Janos Baranyai, 24-year-old Hungarian weightlifter had his Olympic career end in an excruciating pain and agony, when his elbow dislocated while he was holding 148kg of pure metal above his head. Really shitty time for an elbow to quit on the guy. Mother-fucking ouch… that’s all I have to say.

Janos Baranyai trained so hard to make it to the Olympics, he did make it and now he’s got his elbow dislocated to the point that he may start learning how to eat with his left hand. This accident looks so nasty, Chinese officials call it the most horrific moment of the Beijing 2008 Olympic weightlifting competition. Yet the broadcaster played back the video of the dislocation back and forth from every angle. Talk about pouring salt in the wound.

Janos Baranyai represented Hungary at Summer Olympics in Beijing as one of their weightlifter in the men’s 77kg division. This was his third lift on 148kg weight and it didn’t go well at all. As he lifted the barbell above his head, his right elbow completely dislocated out of its socket, and the man crushed on the floor, shaking and crying in pain.

Chinese staff immediately blocked the view, but the broadcast continued with replays of the accident from every angle. You can see it in the video below, but be ready for some painful shit. You’ll think twice before you go weightlifting again. As a matter of fact, I’m not even going anywhere close to any fitness center anymore. Weightlifting is completely out of question. And if someone tells me I’m fat and lazy, I’ll show them this video of Janos Baranyai’s elbow dislocation – that’ll shut them the fuck up.
