The analysis of weightlifters best results for 2016-2019 according to the weight categories is revealed in the article. The results are compared to both qualification table and the world records. Literature review shows that correct training program for the professional athlete preparation is one of the important ways of their training process improvement. There is a lack of optimal training program for the preparation of professional weightlifters for today. Aim of the survey is to find out the correlation of classification standards realization in classic double-event, to analyze the best weightlifter results on the master and international master levels of Ukraine in classic double-event for 2016-2019 in different weight categories and compare them in between, to investigate the world records in different weight categories and compare them to the best results of Ukrainian athletes. Survey methods are as follows: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, documentary method (the study of protocols and reports of competitions). Results. The survey was conducted in the years of 2016-2019. Weightlifter athletes (18-40 years old males) from regional teams of Ukraine in different weight categories (up to 63 kg, 68 kg, 73 kg, 78 kg, 85 kg, 95 kg, and over 95 kg) took part in the survey. The official protocols of national kettlebell lifting competitions were analyzed to investigate the realization of master and international master level of Ukraine standards in classic double-event and to find out the best results in different weight categories. The world records for different weight categories were compared to the best results of Ukrainian athletes. Conclusions. The best weightlifter results on the master and international master levels of Ukraine classification standards realization in classic kettlebell biathlon for the period of 2016-2019 in different weight categories were analyzed. The analysis gives us the opportunity to say that results for all the weight categories prevail the international master level of Ukraine classification standards except of up to 63 kg one. So, the best of them are increasing from 63 kg weight category to 85 one (225 pushes), and decreasing then towards over 95 kg weight category. The world records for all weight categories are higher than the best results of Ukrainian athletes. The largest differences between the world and Ukrainian results are noticed for the weight categories over 95 and up to 63 kg. The analysis of scientific and methodological literature revealed the lack of research interest to the problem of elaboration of new more effective approaches and methods of professional weightlifters preparation nowadays.
