“Wanted to test”: Mirabai Chanu narrates how she rectified her mistake at CWG

It was a dream event for the Indian weightlifters who participated in the recently concluded Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. They managed to win 10 — three gold, three silver and four bronze — marginally better than that in Gold Coast in 2018 when India had won only nine medals. The rich medal haul at the 2022 CWG weightlifting promises better results in the Paris Games.

Mirabai Chanu’s silver medal at Tokyo 2020 was only the second Olympic medal by an Indian weightlifter after Karnam Malleswari won bronze in 2000 at Sydney Olympics. Chanu also became only the second Indian woman after PV Sindhu to win an Olympic silver medal.

“The Birmingham CWG is also preparation for the Paris Olympics. After this event, I have to start preparing for the Olympic qualification. The CWG will help me rectify my weakness. I wanted to test all the work I’ve done on improving my snatch. It will help me to do better in other events and of course at the Paris Games,” Mirabai told media after winning the gold medal in CWG.

“I know what the fans want. I will try my best to do well in Paris. I have done a lot of work on my overall training. After Tokyo, I have been focusing mainly on my technique and right now I can only assure you that everything is fine with my training and technique. I have done a lot of work on that. So I am hopeful for better results,” she added.
