Weightlifting Championships

Weightlifting Championships are competitive events where athletes aim to lift the heaviest possible weights in two main lifts: the snatch, and the clean and jerk. Competitors are divided by weight classes, and their success is based on the maximum weight they lift in each category. The combined total of their best lifts determines their final ranking. These championships showcase strength, technique, and consistency, often attracting the world's top lifters. They are governed by international rules to ensure fairness and safety, and they serve as a platform for athletes to achieve records and personal bests at the highest level of the sport.
