Country scoring:

Canada and Australia will be contending for the top lifter title and the LB-for-LB title in this contest.

Each athlete will have two scores:

  1. Percentage score: based off the top men's or women's lift in each event
  2. LB-for-LB score: sum of their max lifts for each event / body weight

Each country will add up their three best scores of each type for men and women to determine which country wins each title.
