it really takes a long time to download a CD worth of data... i probably chose the wrong mirror... took an australian one, which is giving me about 14K/s.
anyway, i wrote some time back about women's weightlifting, something like 200kg by a 48kg woman. i watched women's weightlifting last night and this 200kg figure is actually the combined lift of the snatch and the clean+jerk. so it's about 100kg they were lifting each time. usually the clean and jerk can lift more. there was a world record, i think, by a chinese woman, in the snatch. if i recall correctly, it was something like 130kg and she was in the under 68kg category, i believe.
the korean women's handball team is really something. truly truly amazing to watch. they just slam in the goals so accurately and powerfully and effortlessly. it's amazing how precisely they throw the ball and the goalkeeper truly has no chance, even though she's flailing her arms and legs all over the place. in case you're wondering, handball is like a combination of basketball and soccer.
