On the mat

Weightlifting

On a lifting platform.

• You lift a bar with weights on each end.
• The snatch is one move. The clean and jerk is two moves.
• The bar must finish overhead, with arms straight.
• Judges say if the lift is good.

Score. The heaviest good lift counts. Snatch and clean and jerk are added together.

Win. The lifter with the highest total wins.

Lifters get three tries at each lift.
