Notes
- As a result of sanctions imposed following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Belarusian weightlifters participated as Individual Neutral Athletes (Athlètes Individuels Neutres in French) according to an IOC decision implemented by the IWF.[7] No Russian athlete agreed to participate as neutrals.[8][9] No flag at all was used for the delegation, not even the IWF flag.[10] The IWF does not include the medals won by these weightlifters in the official medal table, they results does not counted in the team rankings.[11]
- The IWF continues to recognize the de jure Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.[13]
