Inside the Olympics

Weightlifting weightlifting

The aim of weightlifting is simple - to lift more than anyone else. The result is pure sporting theater and a real spectator favorite. In the snatch, the bar is lifted from the floor to above the head in one movement. By contrast, the clean and jerk is a two-stage action — the bar is first brought up to the chest before being jerked over the head.
