quit it with the emotearz-inducing, NBC!!
i will admit, i almost cried
who's picture is that?
>>275500His dead wife.
His wife, who died in a car accident a year ago.She had started saving up so she could see him at the Olympics, but then she was killed. Guess that made him work that much harder to win the gold.
>>275511>>275514oh god;-;
He's the very definition of a manly man.Hail to him.
Mind you, this is the Strongest Man Alive, it makes it that much more emotearsy.
T_Tthat is so depressingand heartwarming at the same time
>>275528yeah. strongest both internally and externally.
/r/ video
this guy's awesome.
Man, this is sad.Seriously, this guy deserves a gold just as much, if not more, than just about anyone else in the Olympics.
btwhis name is matthias steiner
it was a solid lift, pure determination and focus
>>275483This guy can pretty much get laid by any woman he wants for the next two weeks
better version of OP pic
best neckbeard ever
his wife looks hot. if i was him. i probably lock myself and cry all day..oh wait..
/Salute.A true winner.
I cried when I heard his story!
Fuck.I feel for the poor bugger. Good on him for winning Gold.
No one here complaining that he gained german citizenship only recently?
>>276606Does it make any difference at all? He, as a person, won the gold. Whether he did it under the German flag or another flag isn't really important unless you care about national medal counts.
>>276606Austrians are really Germans, ask Hitler.Hitler : ja, dey sind krauts.
>>276606Fuck the nationalism.The guy is a champion no matter how you see it. Unless of course he's on drugs. He deserves the medal.

>>276623Hitler was austrian.In case you faggots didn't know...
>>276635Hitler was ethnically German, his parents just lived in Austria because it was part of the German empire.
>>276650Austria wasn't part of the german empire. The german empire formed 1871 and Austria was left out because of the competition to Prussia and the union with Hungary.Otherwise nearly all Austrians are ethnic Germans and german-speaking.
>>276650Austria was not part of the German Kaiserreich, because it was created by Prussia. It was part of the Holy Roman Reich of the German Nation and of Adolf's Greater German Reich, though.
