Medallists by class
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 competitions of 1920 to 1924 also counted one-hand lifts. Those totals are not shown.
