    Closer to disappointment and pain: AU4; no 6. (And the bar is dropped behind him? — no AU for that! 🙂

    I would go for joy / excitement…. Not sincerely because of the facial expression but more because of his total body language… Great and extreme victory (joy) is expressed upward in a open position (arms spread, chest open) like he is thanking god or something. Disappointment / pain would be more likely expressed downward with some kind of hiding expression like the hands folded around the head or a starting arm barrier across the chess. Possibly even a touching of the pain area… If there only a ‘mental’ pain touching of the head would probably appear. I’m quite curios about the real situation and story now… What’s your opinion stu?

    Great comments! This is the quote that goes with the image; “Micronesia’s Manuel Minginfel drops weights on the men’s 62-kilogram Group B weightlifting competition at the London Olympic Games July 30, 2012.”

    This is the pain of failure 😦
