The weightlifting one-hand lift was on the Olympic Program in the years 1896 and 1906. This event, for men only, was similar to the modern snatch weight lifting event.
Olympic one-arm dumbbell liftOnly one hand was allowed in lifting the weights. The competitors had to perform the lifts with each hand, with the winner determined from the combined score of both hands.
