Lack of competition does make it a bit boring, says CWG 2022 champion Mirabai Chanu - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - Tokyo - county Centre - Mauritius

Lack of competition does make it a bit boring, says CWG 2022 champion Mirabai Chanu

Commonwealth Games (CWG), but not without a feeling and a sentiment that elite-level athletes can have but rarely show when there's lack of competition -- that it gets 'boring'. En route to a hat-trick of CWG medals, the Tokyo Olympics silver medallist knocked off milestones effortlessly. The Commonwealth and Games records in 'Snatch' were the first to fall. By the time she missed lifting 115kg in her third clean and jerk (C&J) attempt, she had already rewritten the Games record in C&J as well as in the total weight.

CWG 2022: Mirabai Chanu bosses field to claim gold, as weightlifters win four medals for India on Day 2

Commonwealth Games (CWG) a sparkling one for India and the country's weightlifting contingent. Olympic silver medallist Mirabai was expected to win a gold medal on the second day of the competition, and she did it with remarkable ease, shattering four records in a power-packed performance. Literally owning the stage, Mirabai outshone the field by lifting 201kg (88kg+113kg), which was a humongous 29kg more than the second-placed Marie Hanitra Roilya Ranaivosoa's 172kg (76kg+96kg) from Mauritius, while Canada's Hannah Kaminski was behind by another kilogram (74kg+97kg). HIGHLIGHTS - DAY 2While others began in the 60kg range, Mirabai straightaway lifted 86kg in her first attempt to pull away from the field, and matched her personal best of 88kg in the second attempt. She went for a record-breaking 90kg, but could not succeed. In clean and jerk, she began by lifting 109kg and that successful attempt sealed her and India's first gold. She returned for a successful 113kg lift, but could not complete the 115kg in her final try.

Record-shattering Mirabai Chanu bags India's first gold at Birmingham Commonwealth Games - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - China - Tokyo - India - Birmingham - county Centre - Mauritius

Record-shattering Mirabai Chanu bags India's first gold at Birmingham Commonwealth Games

It must have felt slightly strange for Mirabai Chanu, bossing the weightlifting area with nobody to challenge her. Such a different scenario from the events of Tokyo Olympics last year, when the Chinese Hou Zhihu was lifting weights as if they were shopping bags, pushing our diminutive Manipur girl to come up with her own special in an epic 49-kg lift-off. Then it had got her a terrific silver, setting the stage for a memorable Indian Olympic medal windfall. It was July 24, 2021 then; it is July 30 now. Today. In Birmingham, you could say, she was on her own. Lifting a whopping 29 kg more than the second-placed Marie Hanitra Ranaivosoa of Mauritius. Mirabai lifted a total of 201 kg – 88 kg in snatch and 113 kg in clean and jerk – to create a new CWG record as well as her own personal best. There was a banner from the stands that made Hindi-following people present at the National Exhibition Centre in Solihull burst into laughter. “Mira tum ho India ka hira (Mira you are India’s diamond).” Truly she is a diamond, and for sure she is India’s lucky charm, the country’s talisman kick-starting things with a gold medal-winning performance at the 2022 Commonwealth Games on Saturday.
