Olympic Weightlifting
Olympic Weightlifting Olympic weightlifting, or weightlifting, is an athletic discipline in the modern Olympic programme in which the athlete attempts a maximum-weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates. Qualifying – the road to Rio Qualification is based on the results of the 2014 and 2015 International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Championships and the 2016 Continental Championships. No more than six men and four women can qualify per country, with a maximum of two athletes per event. Brazil, as host country, is guaranteed five quota places, three for men and two for women. No New Zealand weightlifters have qualified for Rio as yet. The best chance for qualification for our weightlifters is via the Oceania qualifying event being held in Fiji in early 2016. At this event qualifying is based on team results, not individuals. Teams must place in the top three for women to gain one Olympic spot, and men must place in the top four to gain a spot. A women’s team has seven members and a men’s team has eight. If the New Zealand teams are successful at this qualification event in gaining places at the Rio Games, then our selectors will choose one male weightlifter and one female weightlifter to go (in agreement with the NZOC). Rio 2016 Weightlifting When: Competition will take place over 10 days from 7-14 August 2016 (with no competition on 15 August). Where: Riocentro – Pavilion 2. Men will compete in eight events based on athlete weight categories, from under 56kg to the super- heavyweights at over 105kg. -
Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently. -
Variation in Barbell Position Relative to Shoulder and Foot Anatomical Landmarks Alters Movement Efficiency
Original Research Variation in Barbell Position Relative to Shoulder and Foot Anatomical Landmarks Alters Movement Efficiency SHELLEY HANCOCK†1, FRANK WYATT‡2, and LON KILGORE‡3 1The Center for Preventative Medicine, La Palestra, New York, NY, USA, 2Department of Athletic Training & Exercise Physiology, Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, TX, USA, 3Institute for Clinical Exercise & Health Science, University of the West of Scotland, Hamilton, Scotland, UK ‡Denotes professional author, †Denotes graduate student author ABSTRACT International Journal of Exercise Science 5(3) : 183-195, 2012. The purpose of this study was to determine if either of the two deadlift starting positions would yield a more efficient movement than the other; (1) the traditional Olympic lifting and deadlift starting position with the barbell over the metatarsalphalangeal joint and under the acromioclavicular joint or (2) an experimental alignment with the bar over the navicular bone and under the most inferior and medial aspect of the scapular spine. This second starting position, developed as a teaching convention, differs from the historical alignment of toes-barbell-shoulder joint and is also proposed to reduce horizontal displacement of the bar thus minimizing the amount of work needed to complete the movement. It was hypothesized that the experimental alignment would produce a more efficient pulling movement compared to a traditional starting alignment. Efficiency was defined as a barbell path approaching linear movement, with larger horizontal displacements being considered less efficient than smaller displacements. Six intermediate level weightlifters, 23.8 ± 1.9 years of age, 164.7 ± 7.9 cm in height, 81.5 ± 31.9 kg in body mass, completed a series of deadlifts under both alignment conditions with 90% of their self-reported 1RM (169.0 ± 58.17 kg). -

Britain's Olympic Heritage
Britain’s Olympic Heritage Launceston Elliott George Con O’Kelly DeRelwyskow Stanley Bacon 1896 Athens, Greece April 6th - 13th The wrestling competition consisted of just one event, a Greco Roman style competition without any weight restrictions. Five particpants took part in the competition with Great Britain represented by Launceston Elliott. Launceston Elliot Launceston Elliot secures his place in Britain's wrestling heritage as the country's first wrestling representative in the modern Olympic Games at the time of their revival in Athens in 1896. Just five competitors took part in the single Greco Roman style competition. Launceston Elliot outweighed his opponent, the German Carl Schuman, but was outclassed (by the eventual first Olympic champion since Aurelius Aelix of Phoenicia in 213 A.D.) and eliminated from the competition. Launceston even has the distinction of being one of Britain's first medal winners, a gold and a silver, though unfortunately not for his wrestling skills. Wrestling was a bit of a sideline for Launceston, who was primarily a weightlifter. He went into the record books as Britain's first gold medal winner when he won the one- handed lift competition in Athens. He took silver medal in the two handed lift, with gold awarded to Viggo Jensen of Denmark who was judged to have the superior style when both men lifted the same weight. Launceston also competed in the 100 metres race and rock climbing event. Launceston Elliot was born in India (and named after the Australian town in which he was conceived) before moving to England when he was thirteen years old, where he developed his skills as a lifter under the guidance of Eugen Sandow. -
Launceston Elliot
BRITAIN'S FIRST OLYMPIC CHAMPION: LAUNCESTON ELLIOT by Ian Buchanan Not only does Launceston Elliot have the distinction of being Great Britain’s first Olympic champion, he is also one of the more interesting characters in British sporting history. The fascinating family story begins even before Launceston was born. After his father’s second wife met her death by falling from a hotel balcony in Australia in rather mysterious circumstances, Gilbert Wray Elliot returned to the hotel and married the receptionist, Ann Mason. Launceston was the issue of this third marriage and was given his unusual name as, although born in India on 9 June 1874, he had been conceived in the capital city of Tasmania. The Elliot family was an established part of the British artistocracy with Lord Minto being head of the family which had strong connections with India. The 4th Earl Minto served as Viceroy of India (1905-1910). Launceston was the grandson of Sir Charles Elliot, the one- time governor of St. Helena, and his father served as magistrate with the Indian Civil Service. In 1887, Gilbert Elliot gave up his post in India and took his family to England where he began farming in Essex. The 13-year-old Launceston, an exceptionally well-built youth, who was seeing England for the first time, immediately came under the influence of the great Eugen Sandow and soon developed into an unusually talented lifter. In January 1891, aged only 16, he performed creditably at what is now recognized as the first British Championships held at the fashionable Cafe Monico in Piccadilly, London.
