The first Olympics were held in 1896.
Weightlifting was part of the “Field” events categorized under “Track and Field”, meaning it was not it’s own event.
There were 2 categories: One-handed lifts and Two-handed lifts.
History of Weightlifting in the Olympics

In 1920, in Antwerp, Belgium, Weightlifting became an official Olympic Event
Events:◦ ‘One-Hand’ Snatch◦ ‘One-Hand’ Clean and Jerk◦ ‘Two-Hands’ Clean and Jerk
Only 14 Total Nations Competed
History continued…
In 1928, Weightlifting dropped one-hand exercises altogether, leaving only:
The Clean and Press The Snatch The Clean and Jerk
History continued…
By 1972, the Clean and Press was eliminated, and what was left is what is still used in today’s Olympics:
The Snatch , Clean and Jerk, and the Hang Cleans
Before 1932, athletes of all sizes and weights competed in just one single weight class. But for the 1932 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, 5 weight classes were added.
Today, 7 weight classes exist for Olympic competition.

The Clean and Jerk
A variant of the Clean and Jerk, it begins with the barbell off the ground and arms hanging down, then, the bar is lifted to the clean position

Power originates from the floor as the lifter generates power by jumping
