This first video I took at the same West Wythenshawe Olympic weightlifting comp a few weeks ago. You saw in the previous video Josh Farghaly doing a very impressive 110kg Snatch. Well this is him a little later having a go at beating his own British youth record by Clean and Jerking 135kg.
It’s seemingly the worst possible outcome of any lift you could imagine, but Josh was fine:
And this is just horrid, but you have to take your hat off to the girl, she finished the lift!
