Weightlifting is an Olympic Sport played between individuals who compete to try to lift a metal barbell loaded with weight plates. The individual who successfully lifts the heaviest barbell out of their body weight category wins. There are two different types of lifts that each competitor must accomplish; within these two types of lifts, each competitor is allowed a total of three attempts. An individual's total score is determined by combining their two largest lifts, one from each category of lift.
