What a dumb-bell

By Mat Kendrick on Aug 20, 08 02:53 PM

ONE of the enduring moments of a fabulous Olympic Games was Welsh weightlifter Michaela Breeze completing her event through gritted teeth.

Breeze might not have been one of Team GB's growing band of golden girls and boys but her never-say-die attiitude alone was worthy of a medal.

The 29-year-old was suffering from an excruciating back injury and was in obvious agony as she battled through the pain barrier to lift 100kg.

But Breeze, who finished seventh in floods of tears, admitted there had been no chance of her quitting, adding: "It's an Olympic Games - pain's irrelevant."

Wonder if this guy would agree.......?!
