Weight lifting is a sports activity which is unique by its nature and it is quite different from other sports activity. In this activity no person can take anything lightly, as this a competition of lifting heavy and more heavy weight. This sport finds its root in the ancient Greece, Egypt and China, and we can get the evidence of this game through the early records of these civilization.

There came few more alteration in the rule of playing the game came forward during the next Olympic, 1924 in Paris, France. Till this time there was no different weight category, but in the Olympic Los Angeles, California, United States America, there were 5 different categories.
Women weight lifting was first time introduced in 1987, however in Olympics it was introduced in 2000, Sydney, Australia.  India till the date has achieved only one medal in this sport by Karnam Malleswari in the year 2000, she won a bronze medal in this sport.
 In 2016 Rio Olympics India has entered two competitors in the weightlifting sport. In the women’s 48kg category, Mirabai Chanu and in men’s 77kg Sivalingam Sathish Kumar. Sathish Kumar Sivalingam finishing 11th in the men’s 77kg event.
The country winning the maximum medals in this particular sport is Russia with 231 medals followed by China 189 medals and the third position is occupied by Bulgaria holding 91 medals. The countries which are in top position after these three countries are as follows, United States of America, Germany (including both East and West), Austria, Poland, Iran ,Turkey and Kazakhstan  in respective order.
The game doesn’t need any requirement of the additional gears but it requires a high level of skill, technique and concentration. As if a player commits even a negligible mistake it can cost life or it can turn a person disable   for the rest of her/his life.
