Weightlifting is more grit than glamour.
Athletes grunt, yell and do whatever it takes to prepare themselves to lift heavy weight on the world's biggest stage. Sometimes their adrenaline-fueled screams are louder than the sound of the barbell slamming onto the platform.
Leave the silence for other sports.
Weightlifting is one of the oldest sports in the Olympics and while it's one of the lesser knowns, it's quite a crowd pleaser. Just listen to the way spectators react when an athlete stomps their feet and shouts before a lift.
Competition starts Aug. 6 in Rio de Janeiro.
