In the 2016 Rio Olympics Ruslan Nurudinov won gold in the men's 105kg weightlifting, lifting a total of 431kg, including an Olympic record 237kg in the clean & jerk.

Learning idioms
It’s great to learn as many idioms as possible, but the most important thing is to use them correctly – in sufficient volume and in proper place. First of all, we should wait until we hear an idiom from a native speaker in a natural context; we should not experiment with using an idiom until we have mastered the basics of English grammar. Once we have heard the idiom being used more than once, and fully understand its meaning, we can try using it by ourselves. Imagine that you have two job offers, one sure, but lower paying, and one that pays more, but is only tentative. Because of nervousness and fear of having no job at all, you accept the lower paying job, at which moment the better offer comes through and naturally you feel frustrated. You can then say Oh well, the die is cast… If you try this on a native speaker and he looks at you with sympathy and does not ask “what do you mean?” – you have achieved your first successful placement of a newly learned idiom in an appropriate context. This can be a rewarding experience. English people can definitely tell us how fluent we are and between foreigners and natives just by the fact of using idioms. If a person always uses a bookish, stilted expression and never uses an idiom in the right place, he might develop the reputation of being a dry, unimaginable speaker, or one who is trying to be too serious and too official. The use of idioms is, therefore, extremely important. It can strike a chord of solidarity with the listener. The more idioms we use in the right context, the more at ease English people will feel with us and the more they will think to themselves “this is a nice and friendly person – look at how well he expresses himself!” So, searching for idioms, finding and learning those, practicing in speech and catching their meaning when somebody else is speaking should become our second nature as interpreters/translators. If we come across or hear the idiomatic expression which is not fixed yet in special dictionaries make up your own notes of these idioms.
Non-native speakers of English can reach a point in their knowledge of the language where they feel comfortable with standard literary speech; however, they’re liable to find themselves in hot water when confronted with idiomatic expressions. When hearing an idiom or colloquialism they may feel frustrated and confused, since the true meaning of the idiom generally cannot be determined by knowledge of its component parts. In many cases an attempt on the part of the learner to tie down a definition of an idiom that would work in all instances is a futile undertaking.
