Mirabai Chanu: 'Winning World Championship medal tougher than Olympics'
Kolkata: Star weightlifter Saikhom Mirabai Chanu added another feather to her cap earlier this month in Bogota when the 2020 Olympics silver medallist bagged a World Weightlifting Championships silver medal too in her favoured 49kg category.
This was her second medal on the stage as she became a World Champion back in 2017 in the USA. But it won’t be wrong to say that the value of this silver is perhaps bigger than her 2017 triumph and may as well dwarf her Tokyo success too.
Extremely humbled and grateful for this victory. Small step towards our eventual goal of an Olympic gold.
Gratitude to my Coach Vijay sir, our President IWLF Sahdev Yadav sir, Sports Authority of India, all the stakeholders and well wishers. Will always make you proud
