Weightlifting at the 1984 Summer Olympics
The weightlifting competition at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles consisted of ten weight classes, all for men only.
The 1984 Summer Olympics boycott meant that the most dominant forces in weightlifting at the time, the USSR and Bulgaria did not take part. This left the field wide open.
