Weightlifting at the 1983 National Games of China (original) (raw)

Weightlifting was part of the held in Shanghai. Only men competed in ten bodyweight categories. The competition program at the National Games mirrors that of the Olympic Games as only medals for the total achieved are awarded, but not for individual lifts in either the snatch or clean and jerk. Likewise an athlete failing to register a snatch result cannot advance to the clean and jerk.
