With which sport is the Burdwan Trophy associated?

The correct answer is Weightlifting.

Key PointsWeightlifting:

• Weightlifting is a sport in which athletes compete in lifting a barbell loaded with weight plates from the ground to overhead.
• Athletes compete in two specific ways of lifting the barbell overhead.
• These are:
  • the snatch
  • the clean and jerk.

Explanation:

• The snatch is a wide-grip lift, in which the weighted barbell is lifted overhead in one motion.
• The clean and jerk is a combination lift, in which the weight is first taken from the ground to the front of the shoulders (the clean), and then from the shoulders to overhead (the jerk).
• The clean and press, wherein a clean was followed by an overhead press, was formerly also a competition lift but was discontinued due to difficulties in judging proper form.
• To keep competing the player has to increase at least 5 kg of weight between two attempts if the first one is successful.​

Additional Information

Few rules(officiating):

• During the competition, the snatch event takes place first, followed by a short intermission, and then the clean and jerk event.
• There are two side judges and one head referee who together provide a "successful" or "failed" result for each attempt based on their observation of the lift within the governing body's rules and regulations.
• Two successes are required for any attempt to pass.
• Usually, the judges' and referee's results are registered via a lighting system with a white light indicating a "successful" lift and a red light indicating a "failed" lift.
