Donald, powerlifting (squat, bench, deadlift) isn't done at the Olympics. Weightlifting (Clean&Jerk and Snatch) is. Theyre not the same sport


They not sports at all. They are forms of exercise/bodybuilding.

Theyre sports, as is bodybuilding itself

What about bicep curls?

Lifting objects is not s sport.
Is kicking objects a sport? How about throwing objects or driving objects? Riding objects?

Define a sport.

An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
That rules out Ulster Football so....

The three Ulster counties in Ireland are in on the grand southern conspiracy to insult and marginalise the six counties so we let them have a pass.

Anything less than absolute victory in a sporting event should not even be considered!

Carruth, McGuigan and O'Sullivan are three examples
How many Olympic golds did Sonia win?

She won a silver, beaten by a Chinese athlete I believe.

She finished 4th in the worlds once, got destroyed by three Chinese dopers nobody had ever heard of, she won that race because she was clean, she was a winner and if you are happy with Ireland beating Romania in a shoot out as our greatest moment or someone bravely nearly wiining in the green fair fucks to you, you compete to win and if you don't it can still be a great accomplishment, it just cant be the countrys best sporting moment.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Sonia for me too. The hysteria for the world cup was obviously bigger but as far as achieving something, Sonia gets my vote

Yes it was.

Not a Romanian?

Szabo defected to China and finished her career at 29 years of age, he mother was Chinese and she was also the doctor who administered the dope to the three Chinese bastes who beat Sonia, true story!
