What is the world record for weightlifting

Thanks. On the men's side, the most recent feat of improving a single world record by 4 kilograms at a time occurred at the 2015 President's Cup Grand Prix in Russia. At the time, Kazakhstani athlete Ilya Ilyin lifted 246 kilograms in the 105-kilogram class, improving his own world record of 242 kilograms in the clean and jerk, set at the 2014 World Championships, by four kilograms. But Ilin failed to compete in this year's Rio Olympics due to positive drug tests on retained urine samples from the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics.

On the women's side, the most recent feat of improving a single world record by 4 kilograms at a time occurred at the 2010 World Championships in Antalya, Turkey. At the time, Russian athlete Tatyana Kashrina snatched 145 kilograms in the upper 75 kilograms, improving her own world record of 141 kilograms in the snatch, which she had just set in her previous attempt, by four kilograms. But she was unable to compete in this year's Rio Olympics because of a collective ban on the Russian weightlifting team this year.

Expanded profile:

The first World Weightlifting Championships were held in Piccadilly Circus, London, in 1891.Weightlifting was made an official event at the 1st Olympic Games, held in Athens in 1896. At that time, there were no classes according to the weight of the athletes, only one-handed jerk and two-handed jerk. At the 7th Olympic Games in 1920, weightlifting was divided into 5 levels according to the weight of the athletes and changed to one-handed snatch, clean and jerk and two-handed jerk.

This laid the groundwork for the modern weightlifting competition, which was changed in 1924 to one-handed grip, clean and jerk and two-handed push, grip and clean and jerk. 1928 saw the abolition of the one-handed lift and the retention of three forms of two-handed lifting. Since push-ups are prone to injuries to the athlete's lumbar spine and the judges' scale is difficult to grasp, the abolition of push-ups was officially announced after the 1972 Olympic weightlifting competition.

Weightlifting was included in the program of the first modern Olympic Games held in Athens in 1896. But there was no hierarchy among the competitors, and whoever lifted the heaviest weight, regardless of their size and weight, won, a situation that lasted until the 1920 Olympics, when weightlifting became a regular Olympic sport.

In the 1932 Olympics, weightlifting was divided into five weight classes and three official events - the snatch, clean and jerk and the push press. In the Sydney Olympics, the men's weightlifting was expanded to eight classes, and the push press was discontinued in 1972.

Since then, there have been no changes in weightlifting at the Olympics, but there was one major change at the Sydney Games, when weightlifting ceased to be a male preserve at the Olympics, and women's weightlifting took the Olympic stage for the first time in history. The women competed in seven classes.
