Hampton Morris made history by winning a bronze medal in weightlifting at the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking the first Olympic medal for an American man in this sport since 1984. The 20-year-old from Georgia showcased impressive strategy, initially sitting in fifth place after the snatch but securing his podium finish with a strong clean and jerk performance. Morris lifted a combined weight of 298 kilograms, which included an attempt to break his own world record of 176 kilograms in the clean and jerk. His achievement not only revives hopes for future American male weightlifters but also builds momentum for Team USA as they compete in the Olympics.

With this performance, Morris is seen as a leading figure in the sport's resurgence within the United States.
