1896 - all lifters competed in the same events, regardless of their individual bodyweights.
Lifters received three attempts. Each lifter performed one attempt before any began their second attempts. After each had lifted three times, the top three received three more attempts.
The type of lift used in the two-hand competition was similar to the modern clean & jerk. A tie in case of same maximum lifted weight was broken by the better performance of the lifters. In the second weightlifting event, held soon after the first, only one hand was allowed in lifting the weights. Lifters had to perform the lift with each hand successively. The technique was like the modern snatch event.
1904 - The all-around competition consists of 10 sections: two handed, right and left handed lifts. The winner of each section (for lifting the biggest weight) got 5 pts., the Runners-up 3 pts. and the third placed lifter 1 pts. In the 10th section "lifts on your own choice" the points were 15, 7 and 0.
1906 - In the two-hand lift the increase of the weights were: 81,0 - 100,5 - 108,5 - 121,5 - 129,5 - 136,5 - 142,5 kg. On every weight the lifters had three attempts.
In the one hand lift the increase of the weights were: 40,0 - 55,3 - 60,4 - 65,45 - 70,75 - 73,75 - 76,55 kg. The athletes had to lift every weight with left and right hand. The result was the arithmetic mean.
1916 - It was the first time weightlifting was divided into five bodyweight categories.
1920 - The competition consists of one hand snatch, one hand clean & jerk and two hand clean & jerk.
1924 - one hand snatch, one hand clean & jerk, two hand press, two hand snatch, two hand clean & jerk; in every exercise the lifter had three attempts in maximum. After a successful lift the increase of the weights had to be 5 kg from first to second, and 2,5 kg to the third attempt in minimum. Originally the athletes got 1 Point to every lifted 0,5 kg.
1928 - two hand press, two hand snatch, two hand clean & jerk; in every exercise the lifter had three attempts in maximum. After a successful lift the increase of the weights had to be 5 kg from first to second, and 2,5 kg to the third attempt in minimum. For the first time a tie is broken by the lesser bodyweight of the lifters.
1976 - The two-hand press was dropped from the exercises after the 1972 games, due to disagreement over proper form.
1996 - Redefinition of the bodyweight categories
2000 - Redefinition of the bodyweight categories again due to the introduction of women’s weightlifting to the Olympic Games
2020 - Redefinition and reducing of the „Olympic„ bodyweight categories
2021 - The IOC postponed the Olympic Games to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Weightlifting was originally scheduled on 2020, Jul 25 - Aug 05.

1992: SAMADOV was disqualified after he threw his medal onto the podium and walked out of the medal ceremony. The IOC decided not to award the medal to fourth-place finisher CHON Chol Ho (PRK 365,0 kg) as Samadov's offence had not been committed in the context of the competition. Ho became angry with officials for not handing the medal to him and abused and attempted to attack them before being restrained by security. Samadov was banned for life.

Women's Weightlifting at the World Games (defunct)

The International World Games Association (IWGA , founded in 1981) organizes the World Games every 4 years. Thus, an International Sports Federation (IF) can become a member of the IWGA, it must satisfy two essential conditions:
The IF must be a member of GAISF (the umbrella organisation for all (Olympic and non-Olympic) international sports federations), and their sport does not belong to the current Olympic program.
Since 1989 the World Games are under the special patronage of the IOC.
Women's Weightlifting was only on the program of the World Games in Lahti (FIN) on 1997, Aug 08-10.
