    Flawless execution. That bar looked like it was weightless in his hands. Un Guk Kim weighed 62 kilos, so he effectively lifted 2.8x his body weight here, bringing a dead weight from the ground all the way above his head.

    Only a handful of athletes (if that) ever lifted more than 3x their bodyweight in weightlifting, and two of them are from the DPRK.

    Definitely no racism detected in the comments…

    Jesus! As long as I pretend it’s a joke I can openly be a racist and I will get over 2k likes.

    I do love that salute at the end. That was priceless.
