Weightlifting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A third lift, the "clean and press" or simply "press", was practiced in the Olympics until 1972. |
 | | In each weight division, competitors compete in both the snatch and clean and jerk, and prizes are usually given for the heaviest weights lifted in the snatch, clean and jerk, and the two combined. |
 | | Weights are set in 1 kilogram increments (previously 2.5kg increments), and each lifter can have a maximum of three lifts, regardless of whether lifts are successful or not. |
