Mirabai Chanu Aims for First Asian Games Medal with Focus on Injury Prevention
Olympic silver medallist Saikhom Mirabai Chanu is focused on winning her first Asian Games medal at the September 19-October 4 event in Aichi-Nagoya. After injuries affected her previous Asian Games attempts, she prioritizes staying injury-free, training intensively with coach Vijay Sharma and American specialist Dr. Aaron Horschig via weekly video calls. Mirabai has maintained continuous training since her recent Commonwealth Games gold, setting a personal goal to not return home until she secures an Asian Games medal, viewing the competition there as a greater challenge.
