If you want emotions, watch the highlights from the Beijing Olympics, where they tell Mattias Steiner's story.
BeerBatteredandBold
Apparently I have some emotions... Fuck.

Just be careful. Now that you found them they might sneak out on occasion.

One of the first memes, but it still checks out
Razielim
I actually think the Real Life part makes me feel stronger emotions because his celebration has so much catharsis behind it
CrimeBrulee
An entire lifetime of rage and sorrow and pain - the scars of losing your partner too early - expelled in one amazing feat of strength.
thisisntverybritish
His facial expression is so raw and powerful. You couldn't capture it in a cartoon without it looking corny.
Fifofu
Real life + caption + animated ghost. Any of these parts alone would be meh, but that combo hit strong.
Neknerp
He had just missed a much lower weight. This is his last shot and said put the gold medal weight on the bar. He had never lifted this much.
SimplyWalkedIntoMordorAndBroughtPizza
isnt it, technically, cheating if the spirit of his wife helps with the lifting?
pareidoliaperson
Well gave killed my emotions boner.
Icantbelieveitsnotbutlers
Show me in the IOC rules where necromancy is outlawed
drheathen
Show me in the rules where it says the ghost of my dead wife can't help me
lilmookie
I mean they've disqualified marathon runners for listening to music with earbuds.
mytruepersonality
uh the rule book never says anything about getting help from the astral plain.
kellerstern
No
Nightcaste
Nothing in the rules about ghosts
PetCamperProject
21 grams only.
Deletingmypastandfuture
Not in the Paranormal Olympics.
rossdonohue
Depends, do all departed love ones get to participate? In which case, my ancestors are smiling at me Imperial, can you say the same?
mahoganyporchATsunset
You’re one of the five people I’m gonna meet in HELL!
kevinallover
As long a there's no press-out it's a good lift
Troninater
I think she was more lifting his spirits then the weight itself.
Cutlazz
FreakinSatan
No rules against Necromancy in the olympics.
DangerDaveHiggins
IssacCox
That's basically how Eddie hall pulled 4416 quarter pound cheeseburgers worth of weight off the ground
Seggs
not if they cant test for it
addi09
Yes take his medal back if you can
Bossco20
No because ghosts can't lift
Shelest
I don't think she's helping him, she's pushing the bar off-balance and considering the weight, it's more like she's expediting their reunion
fnoigy
Ms. Frizzle's class were performance enhancing drugs in one episode
Enlilite7512
Spirit spotters are encouraged
PMP22
Maybe we should review the Gohan/cell finale
Artoris
We can pray to Jesus for help, but I can't choose this guy's dead wife?
JustSayN0
Not unless you can prove it.
unaligned1
Is there an actual rule that says his dead wife can't help him lift?
Chiyodin
It's still his wife even if she's a spirit, so no he's not cheating on her!.... Wait
firecloud42
There’s nothing in the rules about spirits, yet
AlexanderElcazorro
As of yet, the Olympics has not put any rules in place banning necromancy, that I am aware.
bigblindguy
No, if you think most great achievements by humans are made by those not conscious that they stand on the shoulders of giants, you're wrong.
IxenIejir
Tell that to Angels in the outfield
hannahbutnotreally
Woaaah now there's a movie I forgot about. Danny Glover AND Christopher Lloyd!

Someone report this man for cheating.
WilliamKeith
The Olympics are about representing your nation, so I think there are actually whole squads of ancestor summoners we never see on TV?

Shhhh no one will know

joeyecho101
Get rekt, fleshy
DurendaI
Necromantic arts are indeed included in the list of disqualifying conditions, yes.
Weentit
now that's uplifting
TeaOverdose
it's a problem with rowing competitions where you can have up to 12 extra ghosts per boat
cispusMagic
Yeah, I don't think it's in the spirit of good sportsmanship
FeedTheRats
Actually yes, he was later disqualified and barred from future Olympic Games.
ArcaneHourglass
No its called a Dead Lift for a reason
MrEon6908
And then there's this asshole...
mkomaha
Nope. She helped him all along.
10000Bees
I dunno if it technically counts as cheating, but it's definitely against the spirit of the rules.
CommanderHamDemander
It looks like she's only helping on his left side, so really she's sabatoging him.
FrostyRaptor
There is a commotion at the judges table. Yes. They are pulling out the ouija board. Seems the Judge from the Ethereal Plane has a message!
MightestGlowCloud
There isn't technically a rule about the the spirit of your dead wife helping out
Trentski

skwint
Is she on the list of banned substances?
Einstein9073

It's not, but good joke.
conMan76
its a form of doping
KalmaWallu
Maybe it's his doping mechanism on the trauma of losing his wife?
JStengah
I dont know about dopING but it is pretty dope
iloveronswanson
Doping through coping
DrFunkinstein
I also choose to get high on this guys dead wife
xeth
Are you talking about Russia?
Habfan18
Yes, the Russians have been disappearing athletes loved ones for motivational boosts for decades now.
Zeboku
Ghosting?
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
The Russian team has been doping with the spirit of a couple tens of millions starved Ukranians for a while
Anonanimal3000
well, that puts quite a negative twist to "spiritual aid"
GerberLegalTeam
Yes. Turns out that actually works but results are generally highly unethical. What a twist.
RandomnessSlayer
Context: this guy and his dead wife. Counter-point: this works and is not unethical. Final point: You need to untwist your panties.
I was adding to the joke, it's not like there's an actual ghost helping him lift. Maybe untwist YOUR panties.
