About WeightLifting

Olympic weightlifting, often simply referred to as weightlifting, is a dynamic sport that showcases strength, technique, and athleticism. Athletes compete to lift maximum weights in two main lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk.

The Lifts

  1. Snatch: This is a wide-grip, one-move lift where the athlete lifts the barbell from the ground to overhead in one fluid motion. The snatch requires speed, flexibility, and precise technique.

Clean and Jerk: This lift consists of two parts. First, the athlete lifts the barbell to their shoulders in a movement called the clean. Next, they push the barbell overhead in a motion known as the jerk. This lift emphasizes strength and coordination.

Competition Format
In competition, each weightlifter is allowed three attempts for each lift. The highest successful lift in each category is recorded, and the total of the best snatch and clean and jerk determines the athlete’s overall result. Competitors are categorized by body weight, ensuring fair competition among athletes of similar size.

Training and Benefits
The lifts performed in Olympic weightlifting are not only pivotal for competitors but are also widely utilized by elite athletes in other sports. These lifts enhance explosive power, functional strength, and overall athletic performance. Training in weightlifting improves agility, coordination, and body awareness, making it beneficial for athletes across various disciplines.
