Olympic weightlifting is a competitive sport that involves lifting weights in two specific movements: the snatch and the clean and jerk. Athletes aim to lift as much weight as possible in these two lifts.
The snatch is a single, continuous movement where the lifter lifts the barbell from the ground to overhead in one motion. The clean and jerk consists of two parts: first, lifting the barbell to the shoulders (the clean), and then lifting it overhead (the jerk).
In competition, athletes are judged based on the maximum weight they successfully lift in each of the snatch and clean and jerk. The combined total of their best lifts determines their overall score.
When practiced with proper technique and under the guidance of experienced coaches, Olympic weightlifting is generally safe. However, like any sport, there is a risk of injury if lifts are performed incorrectly or without proper supervision.
