'Focused On Performance, Not Records': Mirabai Chanu Turns Attention To Asiad After CWG Glory
Mirabai Chanu Saikhom: Fresh off winning her third gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, the Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu Saikhom revealed that records were never her primary goal; instead, she was focusing on the areas she needs to work on to keep herself fully ready for the upcoming Asian Games in Japan next month.
Mirabai was always the heavy favourite in the 48kg women's weightlifting, and the Tokyo Olympic silver medallist absolutely dominated the field to win gold. She set a Commonwealth Games record in the Snatch by lifting 85kg, then bombed another Games record of 105 kg in the Clean & Jerk to complete a hat-trick of Commonwealth golds for the Indian.
Overall, this was her fourth CWG medal, having won silver in the 48kg category at Glasgow 2014 before striking gold at Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022.
