Source-derived summary

The Men's Lightweight Weightlifting Event (– 67.5 kg) is the fourth-lightest men's event at the Olympic weightlifting competition, limiting competitors to a maximum of 67.5 kilograms of body mass. The competition took place on 29 July 1992 in the Pavelló de l'Espanya Industrial.

Each lifter performed in both the snatch and clean and jerk lifts, with the final score being the sum of the lifter's best result in each. The athlete received three attempts in each of the two lifts; the score for the lift was the heaviest weight successfully lifted. Ties were broken by the lifter with the lightest body weight.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as weightlifting at the Olympics. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 6, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q7979974. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1992.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
