Weightlifting

 

Using two specific lifts, the aim is to lift the barbell, with the heaviest possible weights, from the floor above the head. Two movements are used - the snatch and the clean and jerk.Each competitor has three opportunities to execute each movement. It is up to the lifter to choose which bar and weight he/she will lift, with added weights being added in sizes of 2.5kg or multiples thereof. A fourth attempt at a lift, with the added exceptional weight of 0.5kg, may be considered a world record attempt, although only the nearest multiple of 2.5kg counts towards the total. Each attempt is ratified by a panel of three judges. More
