Welcome to the Games!

The opening ceremony at the full stadium was magnificent. And now the games have begun.

With 48kg Women's weightlifting. Now there's a sport. The girls do their best to lift less weight than the bigger girls who come after them. And those girls do their best to lift less than the men who come after. It's the Olympic ideal of achieving the best weight lifted per gender per body mass. It doesn't sound too grand, and seeing a girl fail at 90kg lift on TV, it doesn't look too grand either.

But the conditions look nice, the equipment is solid and the arenas are all sold out. Still, when you fail at lifting 13kg less than the Chinese athlete coming after you, the arena is still dead quiet. So far the Chinese audience has only cheered for their own.

I wonder how they react if their athletes fail.
OP out.
