There was a nominal total of 180 quota places available for weightlifting at the 2022 Commonwealth Games; 90 each for men and women.[1]
Rules edit
Each Commonwealth Games Association (CGA) is restricted to one entry per weight category, which equates to a maximum quota of sixteen qualified weightlifters. Each qualified weightlifter may contest one category only.
- As the host CGA, England is guaranteed one quota place in all sixteen weight categories.
- Gold medallists in eligible categories at the 2021 Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships earned one place each.
- Eight or nine places per category are determined by the IWF Commonwealth Ranking List (as of 28 February 2022).
- The last place in each category is determined by a CGF/IWF Bipartite Invitation.
