It was one of the original nine sports in the first modern Olympic Games. The sport was originally only open to men, but women were allowed to compete in weightlifting starting in 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Weightlifting is a strength sport in which athletes attempt to lift the heaviest possible weight above their heads. The sport consists of two lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. In the snatch, athletes lift the barbell from the ground to overhead in one continuous motion. In the clean and jerk, athletes lift the barbell from the ground to their shoulders, then jerk it overhead.<\/p>\n<p>Weightlifting is a physically demanding sport that requires a great deal of strength, power, and technique. It is also a dangerous sport, as athletes can be seriously injured if they do not lift the weights properly.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the risks, weightlifting is a popular sport that is enjoyed by millions of people around the world.
