Jared Fleming Hurt, Drops Out Of Worlds
On Thanksgiving Day, Jared Fleming competed in the M94kg B session. After going 2/3 on his snatch and finishing at 167kg, Jared opened his clean & jerk at 192kg, a weight Jared is very comfortable with and something he's hit plenty of times before.

But this time, something went wrong. Standing up from the clean and getting ready for the jerk, he seemed to catch the bar on a straight right knee. His knee buckled and he dropped to the floor.

As a result, Jared dropped out of the competition and is waiting to hear what the damage is. For now, he's hurt but in good spirits. Hopefully it's not too serious and he recovers soon. We'll keep you updated as the story develops.
