Heavy Lifting
Most people would be shocked to learn that North Korea has some of the world’s top Olympic weightlifters. Rim Jong-sim is one of North Korea’s most accomplished athletes. She won the women’s 69-kilogram event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, becoming the first woman from her country to win a gold medal in an international sporting event.
It’s no surprise that she made this hilarious face when Jong-sim was hoisting approximately 152 pounds over her head. Even the sheer momentum of lifting this hefty weight caused her hair to stand on end!
