In recent years, Jiangshan has hosted the National Weightlifting Championships for seven times and it made its international debut in 2016 with the China-Japan-Korea Weightlifting Invitational.

During the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2023, Jiangshan also hosted pre-games training camps.

The events have not only enhanced Jiangshan's reputation as a key player in the international sports arena, but also created a distinctive brand for the city in weightlifting events.
