The world’s best lifters are gathered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the 2023 IWF World Weightlifting Championships, taking place from 4-17 September.
In 20 weight classes, ten per gender, the lifters will be contesting to determine who is the strongest.
Separate medals will be awarded for the snatch, clean and jerk, and total weight.
The event is a mandatory qualifying event for Paris 2024, meaning athletes must participate to earn a quota spot for next year’s Olympic Games.
Below, you will find a list of all the medallists from the 2023 IWF World Weightlifting Championships.
As National Olympic Committees (NOCs) have exclusive authority over the representation of their respective countries at the Olympic Games, athletes' participation at the Paris Games depends on their NOC selecting them to represent their delegation at Paris 2024.
