If you're squeamish you won't want to watch this. Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai suffered a dislocated elbow when he dropped the bar during today's competition.

The 24-year-old Baranyai, who weighs 169 pounds, was trying to snatch 326 pounds when his elbow popped out of socket. The Telegraph reports:
"There was a dislocation of the elbow but the bones are not broken," Tamas Feher, the Hungarian weightlifting federation chief, said. "They just put it right back, but I think he's lost the rest of the year."
The TV announcers chastised the people in the production truck for showing a replay of the incident, saying, "We don't want to see this." But considering that it's been viewed tens of thousands of times on YouTube, it's clear that a lot of people do want to see it.
