Weight lifter's lift (6)
I believe the answer is:

'weight lifter's lift' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for snatch that I've seen before include "Style of weightlifting" , "fragment of tune" , "Weightlifting manoeuvre" , "Weightlifting lift" , "Quickly grasp - fragment of song" .)
