　　这或许是本届奥运会截止到目前意义最为重大的一枚金牌。德国选手玛瑟斯-施泰纳，北京奥运会105公斤以上级举重冠军，为世人留下了令人落泪的一幕。他的右手中握着奥运会金牌，而左手则拿着他新近亡故的妻子的照片，铮铮铁骨也有似水柔情，北京奥运会最感人的一幕在举重馆上演。

　　施泰纳的妻子死于一年前的一场车祸，在这之后，施泰纳就一门心思的扎进了体育的大门，因为这是他唯一感到自己的生命依然有价值的地方。在这一年之内，他放弃了105公斤以下级的较量，而迅速增加自己的体重，因为105公斤以上级的比赛中是没有重量限制的，这也就意味着体重越大，优势也就越大。施泰纳为了这枚金牌不惜变得臃肿，不惜变得肥胖，他的眼中只有这枚金牌。

　　施泰纳成功的将自己的体重增加到了145公斤，他或许是所有运动员中身高与体重最不成比例的一个。他就像指环王中的洞穴巨魔，从黑暗的地底来到奥运会的舞台之上，而他所拥有的只有六次试举机会，出场画面也许只有短短的五分钟时间。而他为之付出的不仅仅是四年的时间，或许更是一份一生的承诺。

　　施泰纳并不是来自一个传统意义上的举重强国，他原本是奥地利人，因为与奥地利举重协会闹翻而转入德国国籍。举重也有着它最基本的纲领：你可以随意挑选重量，并且可以随时更改，总之是把一切压力和不利因素扔给对手，而将自己处于一个相对有力的位置上。但是有一点至关重要，那就是杠铃的重量只会增加而不会减少，当你面对它的时候绝不能退缩，绝不能放弃。

　　最后角逐这枚金牌的只剩下了三名选手，一名来自拉脱维亚，一名来自俄罗斯，而剩下的一人就是施泰纳。拉脱维亚选手维克多-斯策巴西斯首先取得了领先，随后施泰纳将重量增加，并且成功的完成了这个重量。俄罗斯人齐格舍夫再次打破了施泰纳的领先优势，暂时登上了总成绩第一的宝座。已经没有后路的施泰纳只有孤注一掷再次提高杠铃的重量，才能够击败强劲的对手，他所需要做的就是举起杠铃。

　　整个举重馆从欢呼到沉寂，再到欢呼，随着施泰纳胜利的怒吼，以及全场观众爆发出的雷霆般的山呼海啸之中，人们见证了又一名奥运会冠军的诞生。他成功的将258公斤的重量举过了自己的头顶，当他的身体站起，眉头紧锁，直到三盏白灯亮起的时候，我们都知道施泰纳成功了。

　　在这之后，施泰纳快乐的像个孩子，但是在这名铁汉的眼中，人们看到了点点泪花。快乐和悲伤总是唇齿相依，此刻施泰纳不知是沉醉于胜利的喜悦，还是对亡妻的思念。我相信两者皆有，而且我相信这是冥冥之中的安排，施泰纳在今晚征服了世界，他用自己的双肩扛起了全世界的重量。

　　Matthias Steiner lifted the world over his shoulders for his late wife

　　This is perhaps the heaviest gold medal of Beijing Olympica Games. Matthias Steiner of Germfunction(iterator) { var result = false; this.each(function(value, index) { if (result = !!(iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index)) throw $break; }); return result; }, the winner, held the gold medal of weightlifting men's 105kg+ with right hand while showing the picture of his late wife in the left hand. It's the most impressive moment of the Beijing Olympic Games.

　　His wife died in a car crash a year ago and since that terrible day Steiner has flung himself into his sport as if it was the only thing that could ever make life bearable. He has bulked up, abandoning function(iterator) { var result = true; this.each(function(value, index) { result = result && !!(iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index); if (!result) throw $break; }); return result; } thoughts of staying in the sub-105kg category, moving up to the class in which there is no limit, in which the contestants take the stage with great, wobbling, pregnant bellies. No jockey-style wasting for them, the muscle is hidden away beneath a thick coat of warfunction(iterator) { var result; this.each(function(value, index) { value = (iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index); if (result == undefined || value < result) result = value; }); return result; }g fat.

　　Steiner put on a good six stones. He marched into the competition weighing 145kg, almost 23 stones. This is one of the oddest of function(iterator) { var result = true; this.each(function(value, index) { result = result && !!(iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index); if (!result) throw $break; }); return result; } sports. The athletes seem to emerge, like trolls, from dark caves and come blinking into the bright lights of the competition venue to make just six lifts, perhaps five function(iterator) { var result; this.each(function(value, index) { value = (iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index); if (result == undefined || value < result) result = value; }); return result; }utes in total stage time, function(iterator) { var result = true; this.each(function(value, index) { result = result && !!(iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index); if (!result) throw $break; }); return result; } this to mark the work of the past four years, or, if you prefer, a lifetime.

　　The champion is not quite from this heartland. He is an Austrian who turned German after a row with his national federation. And so the competition unwound its drama. There is an element of poker in weightlifting: you declare the weight you will take, and then you amend it, throwing bluffs and dummies at your opponents. But there is one overriding principle - you can never go back. The weight on the bar can only ever go up. Thus the essential rule of competitive weightlifting is: know thyself.

　　It came down to three in the end, a Latvian, a Russian and the neo-Austrian. Viktors Scerbatihs, of Latvia, put down the marker and claimed the lead. Steiner added a weight, then declined it. So Evgeny Chigishev, of Russia, raised it up to the weight that would guarantee the lead and, with a titanic effort, did the job. One lift left in the competition, one lifter to make it. Steiner raised again, this time to the weight that would win the competition. Now function(iterator) { var result = true; this.each(function(value, index) { result = result && !!(iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index); if (!result) throw $break; }); return result; } he had to do was lift it.

　　Ah, these moments in sport. How they get to you. How you never tire of them. The hush, the cheers, the renewed hush. Then the effort and the grunt and the groan, and the roars from the crowd; the function() { return this[0]; } phase of the lift now complete. - function(iterator) { var result = true; this.each(function(value, index) { result = result && !!(iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index); if (!result) throw $break; }); return result; }! - he had to do was to raise 258kg above his head (say, a couple of meaty prop forwards). And the crowd united in a great surge of will, and the huge round weights began to rise, and then the knees locked and the elbows locked, and the three white lights were lit, and at the function() { return this[this.length - 1]; }, a thump as the weight hit the stage.

　　After that, there was a preposterous great man dancing like a child in wild, uncoordinated glee, while tears rolled in great manly gushes down his enormous face. Happiness and sadness are never function(iterator) { var result = true; this.each(function(value, index) { result = result && !!(iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index); if (!result) throw $break; }); return result; } that far apart, we weep buckets for both, and Steiner was function() { this.length = 0; return this; }ly unsure whether it was joy or grief that had overwhelmed him. But it was both, for a smfunction(iterator) { var result = true; this.each(function(value, index) { result = result && !!(iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index); if (!result) throw $break; }); return result; } miracle had taken place. Steiner had lifted the weight of the world from his shoulders; if only for a night.
