Wijayana Luluk Diani Tri: Chef de Mission and Indian Weightlifting Federation president Sahdev Yadav hailed Mirabai Chanu’s historic Asian Games silver, saying the weightlifter had finally broken India’s 28-year medal drought in the sport at the continental Games.
“I see it very well. I am very happy. After 28 years, Mirabai has broken this hurdle. And 28 years ago, the poundage in the 56kg category; compared to that, how far has she gone in 49kg? She has improved a lot,” Sahdev told IANS.
“The whole of India is looking at Mirabai. There was a lot of hope in her. You all had hope. I had hope too, and I was sure that she would win a medal. But it was not that she would win silver, bronze, or gold.
