Aim: This study aimed to analyze the kinematic characteristics of snatch techniques in a world-class weightlifter who holds the world record in the 73 kg category. Methods: Two high-speed cameras (Sony, Tokyo, Japan, 25 Hz) were used to collect kinematic data at the 2019 Weightlifting World Championships. The SIMI° motion capture system (Simi Reality Motion Systems GmbH, Munich, Germany, 50 Hz) was used to analyze the snatch performance. Results: The lower limb movement during the first pulling stage showed a similar trajectory to elite weightlifters. The athlete showed 5.62° of knee flexion along with continuously increasing barbell velocity (maximal velocity up to 1.90 m/s) in the second pulling. Considering the perimeters of technical stability, the maximal value of the distance between the center of gravity of the human body and that of the barbell was 17.20 cm after the second pull. In addition, the barbell center simultaneously shifted 7.00 cm to the right. Conclusions: These results suggest that the world-record weightlifter possesses special technical characteristics. This personalized technical model provides basic information for the training of other elite weightlifters.
