Weightlifting is also involved in the murals. Most scenes described in the murals are men lifting by snatch with one hand or by clean and jerk with both hands. A mural from the No.61 grotto1 was depicted2 men lifting bell or brazier or standing3 upon the galloping4 horse with hand lifting an iron board.

Furthermore, other Olympic events such as javelin5 throwing, swimming and diving can be glimpsed from the murals as well.

 

 

The Dunhuang murals are not only a witness to the prosperity of ancient Chinese sport, but also a demonstration6 of the descendent7 relation between ancient sports and Olympic events.
