The modern Olympic Games, also boxing and wrestling matches and lacrosse and jai alai games no longer leave the bodies of the vanquished on the fields. Modern weight lifting is split into two fields of endeavor: Olympic lifting and power-lifting, each with the same goal of pitting matched-size competitors to see who can lift the heaviest weights.
