Update:

Janos Baranyai of Hungary is recovering well after dislocating his elbow at the Beijing Olympics weightlifting competition and should be able to resume his career, the International Weightlifting Federaion chief said Friday.

The 24 year-old tore his right elbow joint while making a snatch attempt at 148kg in the 77kg division contest on Wednesday, sparking fears that he would not be able to lift again.

“There is no fracture, just dislocation of two bones,” IWF chief Tamas Ajan told a news conference.
