List of world records in Olympic weightlifting

Summary

none

Pictogram

This is a list of world records in Olympic weightlifting. These records are maintained in each weight class for the snatch lift, clean and jerk lift, and the total for both lifts.

The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) restructured its weight classes in 1993, 1998, 2018 and 2025 nullifying earlier records.

Current records

Key to tables:

When the previous records and weight classes were discarded, the IWF defined "world standards" as the minimum lifts needed to qualify as world records in the new weight classes. Wherever World Standard appears in the list below, no qualified weightlifter has yet lifted these weights in a sanctioned competition.

The IWF website still lists Nurcan Taylan's (Türkiye) record of 121 kg in the clean and jerk, which was later disqualified for doping.

The IWF website stil lists Hripsime Khurshudyan's (Armenia) record of 160 kg in the clean and jerk, which was later disqualified for doping.

The IWF website still lists Hripsime Khurshudyan's record of 283 kg in total, which was later disqualified for doping.
