The Mind Boggles!

I thought I must have misheard the radio this morning when they ran an item about a record breaking female Chinese weightlifter who'd lifted nearly twice her body weight with her naughty bits - but lo and behold, there it was on the BBC website!

Liu Chunhong broke three world records as she successfully defended her Olympic title to claim China's sixth gold in the weightlifting competition.
In the women's 69kg division, Liu set a record of 128kg in her third attempt in the snatch before lifting a new mark of 158kg in the clean and jerk.

She must have done a hell of a lot of pelvic floor exercises to prepare for that!
