We have Synchronized Swimming, Synchronized Diving, and Synchronized Gymnastics.
How about Synchronized Weightlifting?
How about seeing two people clean and jerk, in tandem? (The snatch scares me!)
You’ll need to find two people with the same height and preferably same arm length.
With proper technique, what would be the potential world record?
And by the way, I am just kidding about adding Synchronized Weightlifting to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics :) But it would be fun to see, especially for ageing weightlifters who no longer are top 2 or 3 in their country.
If swimmers, divers, and gymnastics athletes have this option, why not weightlifters?
