Live weight Lifting Men's Final 105Kgs(231Lbs) in Beijing Olympics 2008 on Aug19th - Direct Link

BEIJING (AP) - Four years older and 88 pounds bulkier, Germany's Matthias Steiner enters his second Olympics craving the adrenaline rush of competing for the heaviest title in weightlifting.
The 24-year-old muscleman is among the front-runners for the gold medal Tuesday in the men's super heavyweight class, a title that carries with it the bragging rights of being the world's strongest man.
"I'm in good shape," Steiner said before a training session Monday. "I've had good training the last month. We are prepared for this. I think."
Steiner has overcome great adversity since placing seventh in the 105-kilogram category in Athens 2004, where he was competing for his native Austria.
He changed his citizenship to German after a falling-out with the Austrian Weightlifting Federation. Then last year, tragedy struck when his wife died in a car accident.
The hardship seems only to have helped him focus on the sport.
He placed second in the European Championships in March, only 1 kg (2.2 pounds) behind Latvia's Viktors Scerbatihs - one of his main rivals on Tuesday.
