: Except for 1900, 1908 and 1912, Weightlifting has been on the programme of the Olympic Games every year. Weightlifting was among those few sports which featured on the programme of the first modern Olympic Games, in 1896, in Athens. Austria, Germany and France were the most successful nations at the beginning of the century. During the 1950s and the following three decades, the Soviet Union's weightlifters played the protagonists' role - where Bulgaria and other East European nations were the major challengers. During the 1990s, China, Turkey, Greece and Iran catapulted to the lead.

Naim Süleymanoglu and Halil Mutlu of Turkey, Pyrros Dimas, and Kakhi Kakhiasvillis of Greece, each of whom won three Olympic titles, are the most successful Olympic weightlifters of all time. Hungary's Imre Földi, Ronnie Weller and Ingo Steinhöfel hold a special record, being five-times Olympians.
