Andrew John Callard (born (1968-01-04)4 January 1968 in Dartford) is a British male weightlifter.

Weightlifting career[edit]

Callard competed in the light-heavyweight and sub-heavyweight categories and represented Great Britain and England at international competitions. He participated at the 1992 Summer Olympics in the 82.5 kg event.^[1] He competed at world championships, most recently at the 1999 World Weightlifting Championships.^[2]

He represented England and won a bronze medal in the 82.5 kg light-heavyweight division, at the 1990 Commonwealth GamesinAuckland, New Zealand. Four years later he won two silver medals in the 99 kg sub-heavyweight division, at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and two gold medals at the 1998 Commonwealth Games, the double medal count at each Games was courtesy of an unusual period when three medals were awarded in one category (clean and jerk, snatch and combined) which invariably led to the same athlete winning all three of the same colour medal.^[3][4]
