Weightlifting at the 2018 Commonwealth Games – Qualification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Qualification system

[edit]

For the first time, weightlifting athletes had to qualify for the Games. A total of 226 weightlifters (120 male and 106 women) will qualify to compete at the games. Per the regulations each country may only enter one athlete per event for a total of 16 athletes (eight per gender). The host nation (Australia) is permitted to enter one athlete per event. The 2017 Commonwealth champion will also qualify. The next 12 spots (5 for the heaviest two women's categories) are awarded using the Commonwealth Rankings (from 24 October 2016 – 31 October 2017). Finally one spot is reserved for a wildcard per category.[1]
