All competitions

Each class lists its medallists and the nation each lifted for. Up to and including 1972 a total was made of more lifts than today's two: from 1928 the third was the press, in which the bar is pushed overhead from the shoulders with the arms alone, and the Games of 1920 and 1924 also counted one-hand lifts. Those totals are not shown.
