Weightlifting competitions at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru are scheduled to be held between July 27th and 30th, 2019 at the Coliseo Mariscal Caceres. The venue will also host the squash competitions.
In 2016, the International Olympic Committee made several changes to its sports program, which were subsequently implemented for these games. Included in the changes was a reduction of one men's weightlifting event. This means a total of 14 weightlifting events will be contested (seven per gender). A total of 126 weightlifters will qualify to compete at the games.[1]
This event will serve as one of the events that will allow athletes to post qualifying weights for the weightlifting competitions at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[2]
