First lady Michelle Obama got an unexpected boost during her visit with Team USA on Friday — literally. Olympic wrestler Elena Pirozhkova picked her up.
The 5-foot-5 wrestler said she wanted to do something different to greet the first lady as she made the rounds through the team’s training center in London.
“I thought I can’t just hug her like everybody else,” Pirozhkova said, according to USA Today.
And that‘s how she ended up hoisting the president’s wife into the air.
“I hugged her, and then I asked her if I could pick her up. I think she was nervous. I went slow. I just picked her up. I wanted to ask her permission. There was security all around. And she gave it. I will only meet her once. I wanted to do something different,” Pirozhkova said.
Teammate Clarissa Chun captured the moment on camera, posting the photo on Twitter with the caption: “Elena picked up the First lady.”

Here’s Pirozhkova afterward, talking about the experience:
Pirozhkova won a silver medal at the world championships in 2010, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Posted on July 28, 2012 at 2:40pmI am probably going to get a bunch of flack for this post, but…
Too many of these posts read like something people on the left would post. Conservatives owe it to themselves and everyone else to be better than the left. Using this kind of speech, while it might be funny in a mean-spirited way, isn’t living up to the principle of “do unto others” that we would like to see from the other side.
I believe this is the worst President America has ever had… but we are better as people and should try to reflect it whenever possible.
Okay… let the hate replies begin.

We want to take care of the athletes. We have no one but them, any more to represent this country or even other countries for all the leaders want to play war, golf and basketball and make pink slime for the public to eat. We are like a bunch of lost children whose daddy abandoned us. This, what should be the “father” of this country, is an inteloper and our uncles in Congress are sitting on their booty? and will not make this jackazz leave our White House. This man in office is no kin to America and is no friend to America and his wife does have a big, big booty and is an angry black woman who thinks she is supposed to be somebody because she is wife to the inteloper. He needs to take his limp wrist out of our White House and she needs to take her big booty with him. She is the first inteloper lady and he the foreign limp wrist. Many of us resent them and our uncles in Congress who are not doing their job. This is a sickening thing to have happened to our country.

Let us boycott the Olympic games. All of this “competition” and “individual achievement” makes me want to throw up. I hate them I tell you. The worst part is the medal ceremonies with the “individual winners” elevated above everyone else. What, is this some kind of Kapitalistic propaganda???? They didn’t win that, “somebody else made that happen!” They didn’t build the gyms, pools and the running tracks. They merely benefited from what we have built for them. It’s time to end this talk of “individual achievement”. Dear Leader should go immediately to London and attend each and every ceremony and point out that “Somebody else made that happen!” If something isn’t done soon, there’s no telling what might happen.
