Support Should Be Consistent In Victory And Defeat, Says Mirabai Chanu
While discussing the difference between the support she received after winning her Tokyo 2020 silver medal and the lack of support after her injury at the Asian Games, Mirabai said, “When I won silver at the Tokyo Olympics, there were thousands waiting to welcome me home. But after my injury at the Asian Games while competing, when I couldn’t win a medal, I arrived in India and there was no one at the airport. If we want our next Olympic heroes to truly succeed, the support must be consistent in victory and defeat. Athletes perform better when they know they are valued no matter the result and have the backing of everyone.”
She also emphasised the importance of nurturing the next generation to secure India’s success on the international stage tournaments, “We must focus on the next generation of athletes aspiring to bring medals for India. The most important area to work on is ensuring that their requirements and preparations are met fully. There should be no shortcomings and they must be given the right platform to rise.”
