View source for Weightlifting at the 1959 National Games of China

{{short description|None}}
[[Olympic weightlifting|Weightlifting]] was part of the first [[1959 National Games of China|National Games of China]] 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 [[International Weightlifting Federation|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.
