The Olympic Weightlifting Club focuses on the two Olympics lifts, the clean and jerk and the snatch.
Every year the chance to compete at the biggest University weightlifting meet in the country, British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) Olympic Weightlifting & Para-Powerlifting Championships, will arise. Team members who want to represent TEAMBrookes Olympic Weightlifting at a national level can compete.
The Club is coached by Saldiam Barillas, Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science at OBU.
