quantitative methods to analyze the top eight countries in men’s weightlifting and top eight countries in women’s weightlifting in the 1988-2022 Olympic Games,vertically sort out the spatial and temporal evolution of the world weightlifting regional strength,horizontally examine the group affiliation of each country’s strength,and clarify the international competitive position of China’s weightlifting,and then use this as the starting point to analyze the situation facing the Chinese team.This is the starting point to analyze the situation faced by the Chinese team and to help the Chinese weightlifting team to prepare for the Paris Olympic Games.The conclusions of this study are as follows:(1)From the previous Olympic Games,the number of participating countries(regions)in

the 32 nd Olympic Games can be broadly summarized as a shift from European advantage in the early stage to Asian advantage in the later stage,specifically the competition among Eastern Europe,Southern Europe,East Asia and West Asia;the regional competitive advantage of women’s weightlifting has experienced the evolution of Asia to Europe and back to Asia,and the refinement of the region has experienced the evolution from East Asia to Eastern Europe and back to East Asia.The evolution of regional refinement has gone from East Asia to Eastern Europe and back to East Asia.(4)According to the RSR country(region)level,the dominant countries in men’s competitive weightlifting are China(0.9971),Georgia(0.9588),Italy(0.8235),Uzbekistan(0.8176),Venezuela(0.7912),and Indonesia(0.7794),and

and challenges under the influence of the epidemic these complex forms,still need the Chinese weightlifting team to take appropriate measures to respond,the study gave the following four
