Asian Games: ‘My Dream Has Been Fulfilled’ -- Vijay Sharma Hails Mirabai Chanu’s Silver Medal
Wijayana Luluk Diani Tri: Mirabai Chanu’s historic Asian Games silver medal completed a long-awaited dream for her coach Vijay Sharma, who said the podium finish was equally significant for Indian weightlifting as it ended the country’s 28-year wait for a medal at the continental showpiece.
“Every coach has a dream. You set certain goals for yourself and think, ‘This is something I have to achieve in my life.’ One thing that was missing from my list of dreams was an Asian Games medal. Today, I have got that medal, so my dream has been fulfilled. And now, after achieving this, perhaps I can dream of new things,” Sharma told IANS.
The 32-year-old Chanu lifted a total of 198kg (87kg in snatch and 111kg in clean and jerk) to win the silver medal in the women’s 49kg category.
