Topic: Just FYI

If anyone gets Showtime on demand there was a great 30min segment that aired a few weeks ago and is still available on demand.  It is on the 2004 olympics in greece.  They pick a few sports to talk about and showcase the person on the top of that sport at those olympics.  About 10min. into the segment they showcase weightlifting and Dimas is center stage.  They document all his previous gold medals and talk about how he came to Greece and became a lifter.  Then they move on to the 2004 games (his final olympics).  It was really great!  The segment shows everything from his 3 lifts in both the snatch and the jerk as well as interview commentary from Dimas about how he was feeling and what he was thinking.  They also show how upon receiving the bronze medal the crowed gave him so much praise that they had to pause for 10 whole minutes before handing out the siler and gold medals.  It was really well done.  Hope all can watch.
