Weight lifting

I wanted to see what was on Olympics. There is only lifting weights. It was kind of fun to watch. The first athlete was German. He was going to lift a very heavy weight. He looked like he had big muscles. Grandma was watching too and she said it’s as heavy as four of my dad. Mom said when she lifted a 15 lb dumbbell, it was heavy for her. The German man was going to lift 247 Kg. We didn’t know how he could lift it.

He first tried to lift barbell up. When he got it off the ground, he held it for a while. He bended his legs and pulled it up. Then he stood up, straight and he pushed his arms above his head. He did it. It looked like it was easy for him. He wasn’t breathing very hard.

Next athlete was lifting the same weight. He lifted the barbell to his chest, but dropped it. Some more athletes took turn to lift. Then the German guy was going to lifted a weight heavier than anybody else. If he lifted this weight, he would beat everybody and get a gold medal. He lifted it all the way up until his arms were straight above his head. He got a gold medal.
