Chen wins gold for awesome snatch

Chen Xiexia

You can wait a lifetime for a headline like that.

Would you believe it? My namesake wins China's first gold of the Olympics with superior muscle-power and a fearsome snatch. Chen, 25, lifted 95kg in the snatch and set a new record for the class with 117kg in the clean and jerk.

It's little things like this that make my day.

Great headline... Tony Livesey in his Daily Sport heyday would have been proud of it.
