Rim Jong Sim (75kg, North Korea) Fighting for Medals

100% Will Power! Rim Jong Sim (75kg, North Korea) Fighting for Medals We usually don’t post videos of athletes getting hurt but this performance deserve an entry in the weightlifting history books. After a successful 120kg and 125kg snatch, Rim injured her left knee on her last attempt at 128kg. To the surprise of most she fought through the pain and started to warm up for clean & jerks. Not only did she get one attempt in to post a total, but she also increased to 155kg which she made (silver in the C&J) and even attempted 157kg! We wish her a speedy recovery.
