Sport Description

Olympic weightlifting, also called Olympic-style weightlifting, or weightlifting, is an athletic discipline in the modern Olympic programme in which participants attempt a maximum-weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates.

Powerlifting aims to maximize absolute strength in the three main lifts of squat, bench, and deadlift that are common across the world, whereas weightlifting focuses on developing explosive power and technique in the snatch and clean and jerk.
