Weightlifting at the 1959 National Games of China
Weightlifting was part of the first held in Beijing. Only men competed in seven bodyweight categories which mostly mirrored the international standard at the time. In 1959 the Chinese Weightlifting Association was not yet a member federation of the IWF.
The competition program at the National Games mirrors that of the Olympic Games as only medals for the total achieved are awarded, but not for individual lifts in either the snatch or clean and jerk. Likewise an athlete failing to register a snatch result cannot advance to the clean and jerk.
