Does anyone remember that SNL skit back in the late ‘80s that made fun of the Bulgarian Olympic weightlifting team? I think that is country.

The video starts sports commentator narrating while showing the weightlifter crouched with his hands on the bar of the barbell (that is on the floor) ready to do the clean and jerk.

The weightlifter for the longest time psyches himself up to do the lift never taking his hands off the bar.

All of a sudden he pulls himself up and ends up ripping his arms off at the shoulders. The weightlifter is panicking by dancing around yelling his head off while fake blood flies everywhere.

The commentator then steps in front of the camera while the coach and assistant walk the the weightlifter away.

Freaked me out for a couple of seconds until it was obvious it was fake and then had a good laugh.
