Weightlifting－Olympic sport since 1896

举重－1896年成为奥运会比赛项目

An ancient sport as old as mankind, embodying the most direct manifestation of human strength, weightlifting has not only flourished, but developed into a modern sporting discipline for the 21st century. The apparent simplicity of lifting the barbell from the ground and over the head in one or two movements is deceiving. Weightlifting requires a combination of power, speed, technique, concentration and timing. Super heavyweight lifters normally claim the title of World's Strongest Man or Woman. However, kilo per kilo, the lightest weightlifter is often the strongest.

　　举重是一项与人类历史一样古老的运动，是对人类力量的最直接展现。举重运动不仅在古代盛极一时，而且在21世纪成为一项现代体育运动。从表面上看，举重是一项简单的运动：把杠铃从地上

提起然后举过头顶，只需要一两个动作。实际上，举重是力量、速度、技巧、专注力和把握时机能力的结合。超重量级举重选手在世界上常被称为最强壮的人。但从体重与举起重物重量的关系来看，最轻量级选手似乎更胜一筹。

　　Men's weightlifting was on the programme of the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, and women participated for the first time ever at the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000.

　　男子举重在1896年首届雅典奥运会时就是奥运会比赛项目了，而女子举重直到2000年悉尼奥运会上才成为正式比赛项目。
