57 kg snatch, women

What to remember

North Korea's Oh Kwang-ok lifted 104 kg in the snatch on 25 September 2026 at the Asian Games in Nagoya. That lift stands as the women's 57 kg world record.

The snatch, one of the two lifts of Olympic weightlifting, has its own record in every weight class, as do the clean and jerk and the total. Old records were scrapped every time the International Weightlifting Federation revised its weight classes, which happened in 1993, 1998 and 2018, then again in 2025 and 2026.
