What is Weightlifting?

Weightlifting, or Olympic Weightlifting, is a sport focused mainly on two lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. These lifts require strength, coordination, power, agility and explosiveness.
This image shows the Olympic weightlifting lifts: at the top the snatch, in the centre and at the bottom the clean and jerk, divided into the clean (centre) and the jerk (bottom).
