Seasoned Mirabai Chanu: Olympic silver medallist Mirabai Chanu will spearhead India’s weightlifting campaign at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games once again, hoping to win another medal in the event beginning on July 23.

Chanu, who won a silver medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, has won three medals in the Commonwealth Games — two gold and one silver so far. She will again compete in the women’s 48kg category in Glasgow.

The seasoned weightlifter from Manipur will be the favourite to win the gold in her third successive Commonwealth Games, to add to the gold in 2022, 2018, and the silver she won in the CWG 2014 at Glasgow.
