According to the results of the analysis of scientific-methodical and special literature (results of monitoring Internet sources) on the problems of technical training of elite weightlifters, the team of authors established that the problem of pedagogical modeling of the kinematics of the technique of competitive exercises the competitive activity remains relevant even today. The purpose of the work is to consider and analyze individual models of the kinematics of the competitive exercise weightlifter’s technique for the development of control characteristics of the barbell movement during effective competitive activity. In the process of research and analytical work, the following methods were used: the study of scientific and methodological literature, Internet resources, pedagogical observations, video recordings of competitions, biomechanical analysis of the barbell movement structure, methods of mathematical statistics. As a result of the research, we analyzed individual models of the kinematics of the snatch and clean technique (first phase of C&J) of the elite weightlifters of the last century and modern athletes from different countries of the world (winners and medalists of the Olympic Games, world and continental championships) in the process of competitive activity. It has been proven that the efficiency of the technique of competitive exercises of the elite weightlifters can be evaluated by the biomechanical characteristics of the barbell movement in two main phases of the "athlete-barbell" movement structure: during the movement of the barbell up to the maximum height and during its movement down into the catch position). The cited research materials show that there are certain differences in the technique of performing competitive exercises among elite weightlifters of different genders and weight categories regarding the amplitude of the upward movement of the barbell, as well as during its movement into the catch position. It has been confirmed that the economical technique of moving the bar in these two phases can be provided that the differences between the two phases of movement (up and down) are minimal.

Purpose: to study the indicators of the competitive activity of the strongest weightlifters in the world at the Games of the XXXII Olympiad 2020 and to identify trends for further increasing their sports results, taking into account weight categories and gender differences. Material and methods. By studying scientific literature, Internet resources, competition protocols, pedagogical observations, video recordings of competitions, we analyzed the achievements of 140 weightlifters who took part in the Games of the XXXII Olympiad 2020 in Tokyo and the number of countries they represented. All indicators of competitive activity and age characteristics were grouped according to the following principle: among the top 10 weightlifters in each weight category, as well as separately among the prize-winners of competitions among men and women. Results. The sports results of the top 10 weightlifters of each weight category among men and women who took part in competitions, age characteristics, the rate of achievements in a sports career, the level of approaches implementation and international competition were analyzed. Conclusions. Based on the analysis of the number of countries and licenses received by the athletes of these countries, world and Olympic records, the effectiveness of the performances of the world's leading weightlifters at the Olympic Games is shown. The optimal age for achieving the highest results, the age of the beginning of the sport for the prize-winners of the competition, the rate of achieving maximum results in a sports career, sports results, the level of implementation of competitive approaches, the rate of increase in achievements in competitive exercises, the value of starting results, the level of international competition in each weight category in men and women, the characteristics of the dynamics of the results of the most titled athletes during their sports career, who took part in the Olympic Games, are given.
