Germany's Matthias Steiner, was sent to hospital for X-rays after a terrible bingle with the bar as he tried to lift 196kg with his second attempt in the snatch.
Steiner lifted the bar over his head but couldn't power through the crouch position. His top half followed suit and his arms gave way, with the barbell clattering onto his head and neck and sending him sprawling to the floor, with his legs pinned under the steel.

South Korean wrestler Kim Hyeon-Woo overcome eye injury to win gold

Kim Hyeon-Woo overcame a major black eye to win gold
South Korean wrestler Kim Hyeon-Woo pulled off a remarkable victory in lightweight final despite being hampered by a huge black eye which meant he could not see out of one eye for most of the competition.
Kim became the first South Korean to win gold in the -66kg Greco-Roman wrestling after he beat Hungary's Tamas Lorincz at the ExCeL.
The Korean had to work hard to claim gold after he suffered a blow to his right eye during his first fight against Hovhannes Varderesyan.
The problem worsened in each of his next five fights en route to glory, and by the time he had won the final, the eye was completely bruised over.
"I cannot see through one eye. I can't even open it," the 21-year-old said. "I did it in the elimination rounds and I got hit there again and again.
"It just kept swelling bit by bit and it was getting bigger and bigger but I just concentrated on my fights.
"There were no medals for Korea in Beijing so I feel very happy to have won a gold here to revive wrestling in Korea."
Iran moved ahead of Russia in the wrestling medal table by claiming their third gold in as many days after Ghasem Rezaei beat Russia's Rustam Totrov in tonight's heavyweight final.
Iran had not won any golds in the Greco-Roman discipline before London 2012, but now they have three after Rezaei followed up the success of Hamid Soryan and Omid Noroozi in front of a strong Iranian following at the ExCeL.
"To bring smiles to the faces of all the Iranians inside the stadium and back home is the happiest moment of my life," the 26-year-old said.

WTF is nerdfighter gang sign??
-------------------------------------

Everyone can calm down. British gymnast Jennifer Pinches wasn’t throwing up westside gang signs this afternoon during the women’s all around team finals at the Olympics. That’s actually a nerdfighter gang sign caught by BBC cameras. Shouldn’t J.P. be going back to her team huddle to chat about her floor exercise?
What’s a nerdfighter? It’s pretty much what it sounds like.
According to Wikipedia:
Nerdfighters are members of the open-to-all internet community that has grown around the Vlogbrothers. The community is often referred to broadly as Nerdfighteria, and consists primarily of fans of John Green, Hank Green, or the Vlogbrothers show, as well as people who adopt the term because they believe they fit in with the community. The term was coined by John when he encountered an arcade game by the name “Aerofighters” which he mistakenly read as “Nerdfighters”, reminded of the term “sportsracers”, used by Ze Frank in his 2006 vlog.[6] While it was initially considered a joke, the term Nerdfighter was quickly adopted as the name for the community that rose up around the Vlogbrothers and the Brotherhood 2.0 project.

Raisman was initially fourth after missing a medal in the all-around because she was on the short end of the tiebreak rules. But she questioned her score and judges revised it, giving her an additional .10 in difficulty.

That put her at 15.066, identical to that of Romania's Catalina Ponor. But Raisman got the bronze because of a higher execution mark.

Deng Linlin won the gold medal while teammate Sui Lu captured the silver. It was China's second gold of the day, following Feng Zhe's title on parallel bars.

Gabby Douglas was seventh after a fall. But she finishes the London Olympics with two gold medals, including the all-around title, gymnastics' biggest prize.
