Look at all the weight on the bar for his backsquat at the end!!!
Its crazy how fast he moves for a big guy too!
But unfortuneatly, Casey just got the news that he will not be competing in Bejing:
An article on it is here: http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/olympics/20080808-9999-1s8olylift.html
Total BS. The worst part is how he got jerked around so many times. He was on the team, then off the team, then on again, then on the eve of the opening ceremonies, kicked off the team.
I’ll never understand politics :\
I know, politics suck! And its amazing how much of it exists in sports.
What really sucks about it is that Caseys performance in international competitions this year is part of what gave US the two spots that they got. But the way the selection procedures worked this year, past performance didnt come into play. The two guys going instead better win medals!
