Fit-Again Mirabai Chanu Eyes 90kg Plus Snatch Lift In Paris Olympics
Tokyo Olympics silver medallist weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, who is taking it easy since returning to action following a six-month injury lay-off, is targeting a lift of above 90kg in snatch in next month's Paris Games. Chanu, who suffered hip tendonitis and finished fourth in the 49kg women's category in the last Asian Games, returned to competition with a lift of 184 kgs (81kg snatch and 103kg clean and jerk) at the Phuket World Cup in April this year. She knows that anything less than a 200kg total lift (snatch clean and jerk) won't be enough to win a medal in Paris and she is working towards that with her long-time coach Vijay Kumar Sharma.
