How to Watch Weightlifting at the 2024 Olympics: Free Live Streams for Men's 89kg and Women's 71kg Events Today

Catch the Weightlifting events at the 2024 Paris Olympics—a spectacle renowned for its impressive fusion of strength and technique. Below, you'll find comprehensive details on how to watch these thrilling competitions from anywhere in the world, including TV channels, broadcasters, and free streaming options.

The Chinese weightlifters have claimed three out of four gold medals so far, with Indonesia's Rizki Juniansyah providing a notable exception. However, China will not secure a fourth gold in today's first event, as Li Dayin, who could have been a strong contender, is absent. This opens the door for Bulgaria's 20-year-old Karlos Nasar, who is a slight favorite, while South America's Yeison Lopez (Colombia) and Keydomar Vallenilla (Venezuela) also pose significant threats.

In the women's 71kg category, American star Olivia Reeves is a strong favorite to bolster the US medal count. At just 21, Reeves has made a remarkable impact since 2021. However, competitors like Loredana Toma, Angie Palacios, and Neama Said, all of whom have World Championship medals, will present a tough challenge.
