Finland's Karoliina Lundahl, a former BYU shot-putter, lands in a heap as she fails to lift 105 kilograms (231 pounds) during the women's weightlifting competition in Sydney. Lundahl was disqualified from the Games.
Lundahl, who starred in the shot put a decade-plus ago and currently resides in Dallas, made a brief cameo appearance in the competition. She took her first attempt in snatch at 105 kilograms and failed to lift that weight in all three of her attempts, the last time tumbling backward backwards in an awkward manner.
The 1998 women's world champion at 75 kilograms was out of the Sydney Olympics at that point. Without a weight mark in the snatch, she was disqualified for the clean-and-jerk session of the event.
Lundahl, who competed in the shot put for Finland in the 1996 Atlanta Games and finished 19th, wasn't the only heralded lifter to struggle Wednesday in the Olympic competition.
