It was extremely chaotic onsite!
The five referees were lying on the ground all swollen and bruised. They were wailing and in so much pain they could not get back up on their feet. All of them had been stunned by the fall!
"Ah!"
"Fuck!"
"My leg!"
"Help! Help!"
The Australian referee was crying out for help.
However, just as the volunteers and Chinese athletes around were about to instinctively help him up, they realized who he was and stopped in their tracks. Instead, they took out their cell phones to record the dumbfounded weightlifting referees!
"The refs got beaten up!"
"They're the referees from the weightlifting event!"
"Quick, come and see this!"
"Record it!"
"Damn, who did this?"
The security guards came running over as well!
Some employees on the Organizing Committee also rushed over!
"What's going on?"
"How did something like this happen?"
"What went on over here?"
