Mirabai Chanu qualifies for CWG 2022

Mirabai Chanu is set to represent India at the Commonwealth Games 2022 after securing a gold medal in the 55 kg category by lifting a total of 191 kg in the Singapore Weightlifting International here on Friday.

Chanu who was competing in the 55 kg category for the very first time lifted 191 kg (86kg+105kg) to stand on top of the podium in an uncompetitive field.

The Indian weightlifter found her glory after she secured the first medal for India at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She valiantly fought till the end and grabbed silver in the women’s 49kg category.

The Olympian since then has continued to build up and has been pouring out her sweat by training day in and day out for the event packed 2022 season.
