Mirabai Chanu Wins Silver in Women's 49kg Weightlifting at Asian Games
Indian weightlifter Saikhom Mirabai Chanu won her first Asian Games medal, a silver in the women's 49kg category at Aichi-Nagoya, lifting a total of 198kg. This achievement ended her 12-year wait and injury setbacks that affected previous Games. Under national coach Vijay Sharma, her training focused on injury prevention and peak performance. Mirabai called Japan her "happy hunting ground," having also won Olympic silver there in 2020. The silver completes her collection of major international medals.
