    All five athletes totalled, Clarence won three bronze medals (first Irish international medal in Weightlifting since 1948), which was amazing considering how injured he was. Congrats to everyone, I think we got on TV too.

    Here's Clarence's recovery from a failed attempt:

    Well done done to everyone involved!

    Hopefully this does good things for the sport in Ireland. There was actually a mention on the rte site.

    Also, well done Ed! Could it be that Ireland have found their very own Ivan Abadjiev?! ;)

    Well done to Clarence Kennedy and all the Irish competitors.

    What injuries was he carrying by the way? Anyone know?

    Yeah, I dunno if I want to elaborate on the internet though. He'll be fine after a couple of months rest.
