Weightlifting medals intro

Eight men's weight classes and seven women's weight classes will comprise the 15 medal events in London. The super heavyweight divisions (+105kg/+231 Ibs. for men; +75kg/+165 Ibs. for women) typically attract the most attention and that should be no different for the 2012 Summer Games. China dominated on home soil in 2008, winning eight of a possible 15 gold medals.
