Mirabai Chanu Plans Strategic Weight Shift From 48kg To 49kg Between CWG And Asiad
Khelo India Tribal Games: India's weightlifting ace Mirabai Chanu has revealed her strategic approach to managing weight categories for major international events, stating that she will maintain her weight within the 48kg category for the Commonwealth Games, but will need to move up to the 49kg category shortly after, as the Asian Games follow within two months.
For more than a decade, Saikhom Mirabai Chanu has been the face of Indian weightlifting. During this period, she has bagged an impressive medal haul that includes a Tokyo Olympics silver, three World Championship medals and three Commonwealth Games podium finishes. Yet one achievement continues to elude the Manipuri lifter, a medal at the Asian Games.
Mirabai first competed in the continental showpiece at the age of 19, finishing ninth at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon. She was later forced to withdraw from the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta due to a back injury that disrupted her preparations.
