Weightlifting

Weightlifting, or Olympic weightlifting, is a competitive strength sport consisting of two lifts, the snatch and the clean and jerk, in which athletes lift a loaded barbell from the floor to overhead in a single or two-stage motion. It has been part of the modern Olympic Games since 1896 and requires a combination of raw strength, speed, flexibility, and technical precision.
