List of world records in Olympic weightlifting explained

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 and 2018, 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.
