🏋️ Weightlifting at EuroGames Lyon 2025: Strength and Precision

The Weightlifting competitions at EuroGames Lyon 2025 will take place over two days at the Gymnase Pierre Audry, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. This sport of strength and precision highlights the power, technique, and focus of athletes, in an inclusive competition open to everyone.

A demanding and spectacular discipline, weightlifting involves lifting heavy weights with a barbell loaded with plates. It is not only a competitive sport but also a valuable practice for developing strength and power in other sports.

 

🏋️ Principles of Weightlifting

Main objective: Lift the maximum weight in two distinct movements:

  • Snatch: The bar is lifted from the ground to overhead in one fluid motion.
  • Clean and Jerk: The bar is first lifted from the ground to the shoulders (clean), then pushed overhead (jerk).

Competition format:

  • Each athlete has three attempts for each movement.
  • The best attempt in each movement is combined to calculate the total score.
  • Competitions are organized based on declared performances, including date of birth, body weight, and starting weights for the snatch and clean and jerk.

 

🏋️ Competition Details

Format: The competition will include four sessions between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Each session will last approximately 2.5 hours for a group of 15 athletes. Exact schedules will be determined based on the number of participants.

Categories:

  • No gender-based categories, in line with the inclusive spirit of the EuroGames.
  • Sessions will be organized based on identified performances.
  • Registered IWF athletes are encouraged to indicate their category and level.

Registration requires providing your date of birth, body weight, and starting weights for the snatch and clean and jerk.
