What is a "snatch"?
A snatch is a weightlifting move where an athlete lifts a barbell from the ground to overhead in one smooth, continuous motion. The lifter starts by bending down to grab the bar, then uses their legs and arms to explode upward, pulling the barbell up quickly while diving under it to catch it above the head. The lift is completed when the lifter holds the barbell steady with arms fully extended above, keeping their body balanced. It is a highly technical move that requires speed, strength, and precision.
