Xiaojun goes twice in a row. He should have gotten 2 minutes to start the next lift.
The coaches believe they only gave him 1 minute.

The crowd are booing the judges hardcore.

Apparently the other Lu Haojie didn't post up his 3rd attempt # so Xiaojun should've been given 2 mins for his next attempt (since he's following himself) but they only gave him 1 min and he ran out of time.

Really sucks.. I would've liked to see him go for another WR.

That's shit. Fuck these guys. They did something similar to Lu Yong in 2008

This is not right. If he misses the total WR because of this...

This is an absolute disgrace by the officials, i'm so ashamed of these officials how could they do something like this

All they had to do was admit they were wrong and then just let him do the lift for a great olympics and glory

I don't know if he dislocated it but he looked like he's in so much pain during the jerk

OMG Lu Haojie has balls for going for the clean and jerk with that injury! True Olympic Spirit!
He looks devastated though... he couldve easily gotten silver. D:

Why did he almost fail the 195?

He originally put up 205, and probably could have taken it easily.

-: Failed 204 at the clean. Not very characteristic of him.

Martirosyan could probably have made this competition a little bit more interesting. A repeat of his 2010 performance would have netted him a silver and very nearly a gold.
