I love the Clean and Press, but it will never go back in.
Originally, there were 5 weightlifts in Olympic Lifting, the Snatch, C/J, C/P, and 1 handed versions of the C/J and Snatch. That was the original reason for the center knurling on Olympic bars.
While true that the C/P was eliminated partly because of infighting and mistakes in judging, particularly in regards to the amount of back bend, one of the other real reasons was the amount of time it takes to run a show or event, especially with TV being a big thing for the past few decades. It was too much time to run the full 5 lifts, then it became too much time to run the 3 lifts. If you've been to big meets, you've seen that it's a few seconds of excitement, and hours of boredom.
The Clean and Jerk was close enough to the C/p that it stayed, the C/P also had the lazy judging issue, so it was an easy decision. In '72 it was gone.
It's a shame that the C/P didn't stay in the Olympics for the Americans. We actually fielded many great pressers till '72, I mean top 5, World Class lifters. While a technical lift, it's still a bit like the Powerlifts where brute strength can overcome some technique problems.
