Olympic weightlifting

• 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.

Snatch (weightlifting)

• The essence of the event is to lift a barbell from the platform to locked arms overhead in a smooth continuous movement

Clean and jerk• The clean and jerk is a lift that is a composite of

two weightlifting movements: the clean and the jerk. The clean portion consists of the lifter moving a weighted barbell from the floor to a racked position across deltoids and clavicles. The jerk portion involves lifting the weight above the head until the arms are straight and the bar is stationary.
