The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has approved the revised Olympic qualifying system for weightlifting for the Tokyo Games next year.

Under the revised system, an additional qualification period — running from October 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 — has been added.

Replacements for the cancelled events, originally scheduled prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, will be held during this period.
