The women's 63 kilograms weightlifting event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, took place at ExCeL London.[1]

Summary

[edit]

Total score was the sum of the lifter's best result in each of the snatch and the clean and jerk, with three lifts allowed for each lift. In case of a tie, the lighter lifter won; if still tied, the lifter who took the fewest attempts to achieve the total score won. Lifters without a valid snatch score did not perform the clean and jerk.[2]

On 15 June 2016, it was announced that gold medalist Maiya Maneza had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs at the 2012 Olympic competition.[3] On 27 July 2016, the IWF reported in the second wave of re-sampling that silver medalist Svetlana Tsarukaeva had tested positive for the steroid dehydrochlormethyltestosterone.[4] On 5 April 2017 it was announced that as a result of retesting samples she had been disqualified for a drug violation, and her silver medal withdrawn.[5]
