Seeing as 2024 is an Olympic year, we all knew that it would start with unparalleled intensity, and so far, we weightlifting fans have been able to witness four different continental championships in a row in February.
As the Paris Games drew closer and closer and the stakes were higher, it was time for the best athletes in the Americas to show us what they got during the Pan American Weightlifting Championships that were held in Caracas, Venezuela.
