What to remember
Førde, Norway, 8 October 2025: at the World Championships, American Olivia Reeves totalled 278 kg in the 77 kg class, snatch and clean and jerk combined.
Her career has moved through several classes. She won the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago at 81 kg, and took world bronze that year in Riyadh. In 2024 she became world champion with a total of 267 kg and won Olympic gold at 71 kg in Paris. That made her the first U.S. lifter in 66 years to hold both the world title and an Olympic gold in the same year.
The years 1993, 1998, 2018, 2025 and 2026 all saw the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) rework its categories, and its records started again from scratch each time.
