Before you ask she’s fine.
The only thing that is hurt after this calamitous fainting episode in the middle of a weightlifting competition is her pride and her ego.
Although it could have been much worse after this incident at the Pan-Am Games in Toronto at the weekend.
Venezuelan weightlifter Genesis Rodriguez Gomez was all set to give it her all in the 106kg in the clean-and-jerk when as she raised the weight above her head she passed out and slammed them to the ground.

The 20-year-old later returned for another attempt, and even boosted the weight to 109kg in her third try.
Incredibly she managed it and claimed the silver medal.
