Mirabai Chanu Says PM Narendra Modi’s Words Will Motivate Her After Emotional CWG Triumph
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Commonwealth Games gold medallist Mirabai Chanu said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s words of encouragement during his interaction with India’s Glasgow 2026 medallists will motivate her to work harder in future competitions, as she reflected on the emotional journey behind her triumphant return to the top of the podium.
“Thank you Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi ji for your constant support and motivation in our journey. Your words of encouragement to each and every medalist during our precious interaction yesterday will definitely motivate us to work hard in our next competitions,” Chanu posted on X after meeting PM Narendra Modi.
At the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Chanu won a gold medal in the women's 48kg weightlifting event, but stated that the achievement had an emotional significance which extended well beyond the medal. The athlete from Manipur remembered the injuries, family difficulties and the disappointment of not securing a medal at the Paris Olympics that she had suffered over the past four years.
