10 . The modern competitive sport of weightlifting originated in 19^th-century Europe and was included in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.     1     At that time, simple competitions were held to see who could lift the heaviest weight.

The first worldwide weightlifting championships were held in London in 1891. At that time, there were no female competitors. Today, the World Weightlifting Championships, organized by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), are held every year.     2    

Weightlifting as an Olympic event got off to an unsmooth start. It was not held as a separate event in the first games held in 1896, but as a field event.     3     The sport returned to the Olympics again in 1904, this time as part of the athletics program. Not until 1920 did weightlifting make its real Olympic comeback. The 1920 Olympic Games, held in Antwerp, Belgium, marked weightlifting’s debut（首次露面）as a separate event.     4     Previously, weightlifters in the Olympics were all required to compete against each other, regardless of their size. One-hand lifting was dropped from the sport in 1928. Various weightlifting exercises were added and later removed over many years until 1972.     5     The 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney saw the introduction of the women’s competition, although the IWF has held the World Weightlifting Championships for women since 1987.

A．The 1940 and 1944 Games were canceled.

B．It is a sport in which barbells are lifted competitively.

C．The 1900 Games had no weightlifting presence at all.

D．The championships include 15 separate weight types for both men and women.

E．The 1972 Olympic Games finally presented the weightlifting program in its present form.

F．The sport, however, dates back to ancient civilizations including China, Egypt and Greece.

G．The Antwerp Games also introduced one-hand lifting and weight divisions to the new event.
