Weightlifter Sa Jae-hyouk dislocates elbow in London Olympics’ most gruesome injury 

So you want to be a 77kg (170 pounds) weightlifter, eh? FYI: Sometimes things work out as they did for Sa Jae-hyouk of South Korea during the London Olympics on Wednesday.

That thing that looks like a bran muffin under Sa's skin on his right arm would be his elbow, which was dislocated as he attempted a 162kg (357 pounds) lift in the snatch. He screamed in pain, as medical and team personnel rushed over to assist him at ExCel arena. It was all quite unsettling.

Jae-hyouk rallied to win gold in Beijing at the 2008 Games, and was
expected to medal again in London. Alas, the only title he's chasing now
is likely "Most Gruesome Injury of the 2012 Games."
