There are two ways to lift weights: snatch and clean and jerk. The biggest feature of snatch is that athletes bend their knees in one go, hold the lever with their palms, and use the strength of their waist and arms to lift the barbell over their heads at one time; The clean and jerk is divided into two movements: lifting the bell and lifting the bell. First, lift the barbell to your chest, and then lift the barbell forcibly upward over your head for three seconds.
The clean and jerk consists of two movements, namely, lifting the bell and lifting the bell. The athlete squats down to the barbell first, then stands up steadily, then lifts the barbell to his chest with arm strength, then lifts the barbell over his head with waist strength and arm strength, and keeps lifting for three seconds until the referee lights up two white lights before putting down the barbell.
The Olympic Games and the National Debate;
The gap in the number of gold medals in weightlifting between China and the United States is just the opposite of the popularity of weightlifting between the two countries-there are many weightlifting competitions in the United States, including competitions for teenagers, adults, open groups and the elderly. Last year, the American Weightlifting Association even considered setting up a separate weightlifting competition for the elderly and the disabled.
"Every state in the United States has various weightlifting competitions every month. It can be said that from the perspective of weightlifting, China attaches importance to the Olympic Games and the United States attaches importance to national fitness. " Ma Jianping said, "So, there are many weightlifting competitions in the United States, and there are tens of thousands of members registered in the National Weightlifting Association alone. It can be said that although Americans do not have a gold medal in weightlifting in the modern Olympic Games, they have a strong weightlifting culture. "
Because the internet technology in the United States is relatively developed, all kinds of information about weightlifting can be found online, so Americans are no strangers to weightlifting. "I see that there are only two or three professional weightlifting websites in China, with little information and slow update. They are all competitive, with more emphasis on policy and competition. For ordinary people, there are not many valuable things and there is no interactive interface. This is not as good as America. There are many weightlifting websites in the United States, and various issues are discussed. "
In fact, Ma Wenguang, director of the Weightlifting and Wrestling Center of the State Sports General Administration, once mentioned various promotion methods to reporters, hoping to make the sport more "close to the people" nationwide, such as "giving preferential policies to underdeveloped areas in the selection scheme of some competitions to improve the enthusiasm of local sports bureaus in selecting talents";
Another example is "putting some weightlifting competitions in underdeveloped areas to cultivate local people's interest in weightlifting", but the premise of all these new policies is still "competing for Olympic gold medals". "If there is no Olympic gold medal as a guarantee, where can the local sports bureau have such a high enthusiasm for weightlifting?"
