Ilya Ilyin, 242kg world record clean and jerk... so, like, I LOVE his pull. I love how it's so wild and how it looks reckless and wild, and i love how casual he is about it and how he's never taken long to jerk. Really insane and beautiful and impressive. Also the hometown crowd goes insane. So dope.

no sarcasm. Honestly, what's it like being an American lifter going to the wwc knowing that you have ZERO chance of winning anything and your best hope is to not embarrass yourself and maybe make Olympic spaces for Kendrick and Ian in '16?

Starr left. Me (Destiny) right

First of all let me say this. Nicole is more beautiful in real life. How can that be? Ugggh. She walked onto the stage ever so gracefully, but she was so short that I could barely see her even though I was in the very front row right in front of her. She didn't wear any heels maybe because she said she had just finished filming a scene for episode 9 running around in the woods in the cold hours before. The panel began and she began answering with her nerdy quirkiness. Someone asked what was her favorite stunt to shoot this season, and Me being me I had to answer for her because I already knew the answer. "The water works" I said she turned and squinted/stared at me for what seemed like forever "who ARE you?" She asked with a huge smile on her face. My sister had gotten up to ask a question and when she asked it she started off with "my sister made me get up and ask a question you may see her in the front row with the Same face as me." Nicole turned and said "you're twins!" She answered the question and was waiting for the next when we heard this thumping sound. It was this lady next to me punching her chest very hard. Like really hard, And she kept saying "oh my god she's beautiful" of course Nicole heard it and we exchanged a look of WTF!! And we both began laughing. No one else knew why we were laughing. (I have a fucking insider with Nicole Beharie.) As the panel went on my sister and I being the little sarcastic beings that we are were making remarks on things. Nicole heard us and laughed at them. Later on was the photo op. As we entered the room Nicole gave me a look of recognition and I almsot died. After placing my bag on the table I walked/skipped over to her while saying "nikki!" She responded with "the twinnnnnnnn" I laughed and my sister joined us "the sleepy hollow twins!" She yelled again. My sister gave her a well deserved "yaaaas" and then she gave me a hug and said.....wait for it "I love y'all! You're funny!!" We said our thank you's and she began saying "I love y'all. " Like 2 more times. As we wear taking the picture my sister said something and made her laugh you can kind of see it in the photo. The security rushed us out but Nicole was still talking to us as we walked out. I don't know what she was saying, but I got my life.
