Weightlifting World Championships

The Weightlifting World Championships is an international competition where top weightlifters from around the globe compete in lifting the heaviest weights across different categories based on gender and weight class. Athletes perform two main lifts: the snatch, where the bar is lifted overhead in a single motion, and the clean & jerk, a two-part lift involving a powerful pull to the shoulders followed by an overhead press. The combined total of both lifts determines the winner in each category. The event showcases strength, technique, and dedication, and winners earn titles, medals, and ranking points for world recognition.
