He used his head to slow the bar drop, but the elbow sure snapped. The cameras were shielded as he writhed in pain so the internet would not have more pictures. Notice this was from live leak....
I was going to check out some weightlifting (I did watch the Chinese woman in the 44.5 kg class clean and jerk 117 kg. Impressive but I don't think I would go out with her unless she forced me to. Kind of gives a twist on the phrase "she picked me up at the bar last night.") on nbcolympics.com but now I think I'll pass.
Weightlifting can be very injurious. I know of one stong football wide receiver at a high school that dropped the bar and weights in the wrong place on his person during lifting a few years back and he became automatically neutered. Real sad.
