I Campionati mondiali di sollevamento pesi 1984, 58ª edizione della manifestazione, si svolsero a Los Angeles dal 29 luglio all'8 agosto 1984.[1] Il torneo faceva parte dei Giochi della XXIII Olimpiade e, per la sesta volta, erano validi anche per il titolo mondiale. Per la quarta volta nell'ambito della competizione olimpica, i titoli mondiali furono assegnati, oltre che nel totale dell'esercizio, anche nelle specialità della disciplina.
Il 27 luglio 1984, due giorni prima dell'inizio della competizione, la IWF stabilì che l'assegnazione dei titoli mondiali doveva avvenire soltanto nei campionati organizzati a sé stante; negli anni olimpici si tornava ad assegnare solo il titolo olimpico di sollevamento pesi.[2]
Tranne l'ultima categoria (i supermassimi) le altre erano suddivise in due gruppi; il gruppo B gareggiava nella sessione pomeridiana, mentre il gruppo A gareggiava nella sessione serale.[3]
Nella gara dei pesi massimi primi (fino a 100 kg.) il finlandese Pekka Niemi, inserito nel gruppo B, sollevò 367,5 kg. ed era piazzato ad un potenziale terzo posto, senonché nella sessione serale il nigeriano Oliver Orok conquistò l'oro nello strappo con 172,5 kg. e aveva tre tentativi per sollevare 200 kg e conquistare la medaglia di bronzo. Niemi andò ad assistere alle gare di atletica leggera al Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum ma Orok, nel frattempo, fallì i suoi tre tentativi e perciò era Niemi ad aver vinto la medaglia di bronzo, ma essendo assente l'atleta, la cerimonia di premiazione si svolse soltanto con i primi due classificati. Niemi ricevette la medaglia di bronzo il giorno seguente, prima della disputa della gara dei pesi massimi dove Norberto Oberburger vinse il primo titolo mondiale di un sollevatore italiano.[4] Anche nei pesi supermassimi Dean Lukin si aggiudicò il primo titolo mondiale di un sollevatore australiano.
Le competizioni furono caratterizzate da cinque squalifiche:
Le dieci gare erano distribuite in undici giorni, con una pausa il 3 agosto.
