Weightlifting at the 1984 Summer Olympics

Weightlifting at the Games of the XXIII Olympiad
Venue	Gersten Pavilion
Dates	29 July – 8 August 1984
Competitors	186 from 48 nations

The weightlifting competition at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles consisted of ten weight classes. The 1984 Summer Olympics boycott meant that the most dominant forces in weightlifting at the time, the USSR and Bulgaria, did not take part. This left the field wide open for others.
