NOT A RIGHT! Because the only thing you’re entitled to is sustaining an injury.

Stated again,

“(Olympic) weightlifting is a perfect demonstration of physical strength, technical skill and concentration combined. Lifters compete individually in a competition that requires physical and mental preparedness and eventually tactical skills.”
