Weight-lifting

Weight-lifting

A sport in which athletes perform vertical lifting of weights for a while. Lifting weights requires strength, endurance and special exercise technique. There are the following disciplines for men and one for women: Men participate in classic combined events and long cycle clean and jerk. The double event consists of two exercises: a standing push of two kettlebells with both hands from the chest and a standing snatch of one kettlebell with each hand. In the snatch exercise, one change of hands is allowed without placing the weight on the platform. After the athletes have completed their performances in two exercises, the judges count the points in the total of the entire double event. The “long cycle push” exercise differs from a regular push in that the athlete, after lifting two weights with both hands, drops the weights to his feet and, without placing them on the platform, throws them back onto his chest.

Story

The kettlebell as a sports equipment has been used since ancient times to develop strength, endurance, to prepare soldiers for military action and Greek athletes for Olympic Games. Kettlebells were also common in circus performances and at all kinds of fairs for competitions and entertainment. Kettlebell lifting as such became widespread only in the mid-20th century.

In 1948, the first competitions were held in which only weights were lifted. There were no modern rules for kettlebell lifting then.

In 1962, the first competition rules were introduced. Then, after this, competitions began to be held between USSR athletes. Kettlebell lifting was also actively introduced into the army. The rules of kettlebell lifting were constantly changing and simplified to attract a wider range of athletes.

In 1985, kettlebell lifting became official, and in 1987, the All-Union Kettlebell Lifting Federation of the USSR was created. In the 90s, the International Kettlebell Lifting Federation was created in its place.

Development of rules

At the dawn of the development of kettlebell lifting, athletes practiced triathlon - bench press, clean and jerk and snatch. Professional weight lifters using strength endurance It didn’t exist then, so mostly weightlifters and strong amateurs took part in the competition. They could not lift weights for a long time, so the results were quite low.

When professionals who developed special exercise techniques appeared in kettlebell lifting, the results increased dramatically. The performance time also increased to 40-50 minutes, which reduced the entertainment value and could affect the popularity of the sport.

In 1982, the bench press was excluded from performance programs, and in 1989, a 10-minute limit was introduced on the exercise. At the same time, the first long cycle clean and jerk competitions took place.

In the “snatch” exercise, it was prohibited for the weights to touch the shoulder and chest when lowering the weights, and the free hand should not touch anything when performing the exercise. The snatch began to be performed in turn with each hand.

Competition rules in kettlebell lifting

Competitions are held with weights weighing 16, 24 and 32 kg. Double-event: push of two weights with two hands, jerk of a weight with one and the other hand without a break, where the athlete has the right to change hands once. The result in the snatch is the average result of lifting the weight with both hands. In a long cycle: pushing two weights with both hands, including lowering the weights and then throwing them to the chest. Kettlebell juggling competitions are held, 24 kg for men and 16 kg for women.

The VFGS (All-Russian Kettlebell Lifting Federation) decided that boys (under 18 years old) compete with kettlebells weighing 24 kg, girls 16 kg and less. Juniors (18-22 years old) lift weights weighing 32 kg in competitions, Junior women - 24 kg. Adults compete with weights of 32 and 24 kg, respectively.

General special conditions:

• You are given 10 minutes to complete each exercise.
• The double event consists of a “jerk” exercise and a “snatch” exercise.
• Points in biathlon are awarded: 1 push - 1 point, 1 snatch - 0.5 points.

Federation

In the early 90s, the European Kettlebell Lifting Union (EKWU) was created. It united weightlifters from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. ESGS became the first international organization in kettlebell lifting. In the same year, the International Kettlebell Lifting Federation (IFGS) was created. It included seven countries of the former USSR. In 2007, instead of these federations, the International Kettlebell Lifting Union (IKSU) began working.

Extract from competition rules

Nature of the competition

By nature, kettlebell lifting competitions are divided into:

a) personal;

b) team;

c) personal-team.

In personal competitions, only the participant’s personal result is counted and his place in the competition is determined in accordance with this.

IN team competitions The results of the team as a whole are counted and the team’s place is determined accordingly.

In individual-team competitions, the results of each participant and the team as a whole are counted separately, and in accordance with this, the personal places of the participants and teams are determined. The composition of the team members is submitted to the panel of judges by a team representative daily before the start of the competition. Re-registration is carried out daily before the start of the competition.

The nature of the competition in each individual case is determined by the regulations on the competition.

Competitions with weights 16.24 and 32 kg. Conducted according to the program: push of two weights from the chest (short cycle); push of two weights from the chest with lowering to a hanging position after

each rise (long cycle); jerking the weights alternately with one and the other hand;

classic biathlon (jerk and snatch); team competitions (relay races).

Competition program

The competition program is determined by the Regulations and must be drawn up so that the athlete can compete in no more than a double event or a separate exercise and a relay race on the same day.

Competitions must be organized so that the rest time between exercises is at least 30 minutes.

The winner is determined in each weight category both in individual exercises and in classical biathlon by the largest amount of lifts. In the snatch, the average result of the sum of lifts performed with one and the other hand is taken into account. With the same number of lifts, several athletes have an advantage:

a participant who has less body weight before the performance; the participant who has less body weight after

speeches; the participant who is drawn ahead of the opponent in the draw.

Places in team championship determined by results

qualifying participants in one of the ways determined by the Regulations (by tables of equalizing coefficients, by places in the individual championship).
