The Men's 56 kilograms weightlifting event at the 2012 Summer Olympics was held in ExCeL London on 29 July. [1]
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]
