Oscar Albeiro Figueroa Mosquera of Colombia breaks an Olympic Record in the weightlifting men's 62kg Group A event from the ExCeL - South Arena 3 at the London 2012 Olympic Games (31 July 2012).
Although men's weightlifting has always been on the programme of the Olympic Games - except for at the 1900, 1908 and 1912 editions -- women started to participate only at the 2000 Games in Sydney.
The Olympic weightlifting programme has evolved greatly over time. Today, weightlifters compete in snatch and clean and jerk, and are placed according to their total combined result. From the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, men have competed in eight weight categories and women in seven. This total of 15 events remains unchanged.
