Winning margin in each class
The winner's total minus the runner-up's. The closest final: Men's 109 kg ended with gold and silver on the same total, decided by who lifted it first. The widest: Women's 76 kg by 66 kg. A short bar is a close final; a long one, a class the winner had to themselves.

Results by class
Each class lists the place, the total and all six attempts. A struck-through weight is a missed attempt and a dash an attempt not taken. A dash in the place column means no total was recorded, most often after three misses in the snatch or in the clean and jerk. Where two lifters tie and the results cannot separate them, both are shown without a place.
