Commonwealth Games with two more weightlifting events lined up on Monday. The judokas will also be in fray for the first time in the Games.
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.
A day after Mirabai Chanu won gold at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, she took to social media to share a peek into celebrations at her home. In the video, her mother and other relatives can be seen performing a traditional dance while waving the national flag. "My mom and other relatives celebrating victory at my home," Mirabai wrote along with the video. Mirabai's family members broke into the playful traditional dance of Manipur, known as Thabal Chongba, usually organised during the five-day Holi festival and on other celebratory days.
Chanu, who won silver at the Tokyo Olympic Games last year, defended her Commonwealth gold from the 2018 edition with a record-breaking total of 201kg (88kg + 113kg) in the 49kg category of women's weightlifting at the National Exhibition Centre here on Saturday.
Manipur burst into celebrations as Mirabai Chanu clinched the first gold medal for India at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Residents of Nongpok Kakching in Imphal East district, Chanu's native place, were glued to the television sets on Saturday night. As her Gold was confirmed, they burst into joy.
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.
