Female Weightlifter Collapses While Hoisting 233-pound Weight: 2015 Pan Am Games

Genesis Rodriguez Gomez collapsing
Genesis Rodriguez Gomez, 20, is a Venezuelan weightlifter and she was competing in the Pan Am Games last Sunday in Oshawa, Ontario, near Toronto.

The 20-year-old momentarily holds the bar in the air. But she then buckles under the pressure and falls to the ground with the weight tumbling dangerously close behind.

Incredibly, Gomez later managed to pick herself up and continue - and she went on to win a silver medal in the women’s 116-pound category after successfully lifting an even heavier 240-pound bar.

 She was runner-up to Colombia’s Rusmeris Villar Barboza.
