Olympic weightlifting, or Olympic-style weightlifting
(officially named Weightlifting), is a sport in which athletes compete in
lifting a barbell loaded with weight plates from the ground to overhead,
with each athlete vying to successfully lift the heaviest weights.
Athletes compete in two specific ways of lifting the barbell overhead:
these are the snatch and the
clean and jerk. The snatch is a wide-grip lift, in which
the weighted barbell is lifted overhead in one motion. The clean and jerk
is a combination lift, in which the weight is first taken from the ground
to the front of the shoulders (the clean), and then from the shoulders to
overhead (the jerk). The clean and press, wherein a clean was followed by
an overhead press, was formerly also a competition lift, but was
discontinued due to difficulties in judging proper form.
