With her second World Championships medal, Mirabai Chanu’s legend grew, and other Indian lifters did well at the Commonwealth Games in 2022.
When Mirabai Chanu added a second medal to her opulent trophy collection, her fame grew even more. She won a second medal while other Indian lifters reveled in their explosive performances at the Commonwealth Games in 2022.
The maxim states that Mirabai definitely has a tendency to win. India won its first gold medal of the Birmingham Games when the Manipur lifter, as was to be expected, won the 49 kg competition at the Commonwealth Games. When Mirabai entered the weaker field, it was not about whether or not she would win, but rather how much she would win.
Due to her dominance, Mauritius’ Roilya Ranaivosoa placed second, 29 kilograms behind her. Mirabai won her third CWG medal and her second gold medal in a row. When the diminutive lifter won a second silver medal at the world championships at the end of the year, she was an example to everyone of perseverance and hard work.
Despite battling difficult female spasms to win the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, Mirabai won her second major showdowns decoration, adding to her 2017 gold. In 2017, Mirabai also won the gold medal.
She lifted 200 kilograms, incorporating 87 in the get, 113 in the clean, and 113 in the jerk. She was also awarded a silver medal in the section for her clean and jerk performance.
For an additional year, the eagerly anticipated 90-kilogram grab lift remained unavailable. For the decided Mirabai, who has been endeavoring that one lift beginning around 2020 as increasingly more of her rivals achieve the accomplishment in anticipation of the Paris Olympics, this is in actuality the most frustrating angle.
During Mirabai’s record-breaking binge in July and August, the senior weightlifters at Birmingham set the pace.
Jeremy Lalrinnunga won his first CWG gold medal with an aggregate weight of 300 kg (140 kg + 160 kg), breaking the Games record for both snatch and total weight.
Achinta Sheuli also broke the Games record for total lift and snatch with an effort of 313 kg (143 kg plus 170 kg).
Ten medals were awarded to Indian weightlifters, including three gold, four silver, and one bronze.
