Description
Available in:
The Commonwealth’s strongest men and women will gather in Birmingham, with competitors segmented into bodyweight categories.
Each athlete will perform three lifts in each of the two classic weightlifting disciplines – The snatch (a one-move lift with a wide grip), and the clean and jerk (a close-gripped, two part lift).
Each competitor will have just three attempts in each of the two disciplines to make their best lifts, always starting with the snatch. The order of lifting is determined by the weights the competitors choose to start at, with the athlete choosing to attempt the lowest weight going first. The weight of the barbell is gradually increased throughout the course of competition. If two athletes lift an identical weight, they are both credited with it, but the athlete who successfully lifts it first secures a higher placing. The lifter must secure one snatch as well as one clean and jerk to gain a total and placing at the end of the competition. When it comes to securing medals, every lift counts, and the scoreboard becomes a tactical race for Gold.
