After historic CWG gold, Mirabai Chanu declares Asian Games 'make-or-break'
For the 32-year-old, the celebrations are over. The focus has shifted completely to the one medal that has remained painfully out of reach throughout her glittering career — an Asian Games podium finish.
NEW DELHI - Saikhom Mirabai Chanu, the record-breaking Commonwealth Games gold medalist, has declared the upcoming Asian Games as a make-or-break event for her career. The 32-year-old Tokyo Olympic silver medallist has already shifted her focus from Glasgow to Japan, where she aims to secure her first Asian Games medal. Despite carrying Indian weightlifting for over a decade, Mirabai is aware that this Asian Games is a crucial opportunity for her, as she has never won a medal in the Asian Games.
She emphasizes that her performance at the Asian Games is of utmost importance, and she is prepared to train harder and improve her abilities to compete against the world's top weightlifters, including China, North Korea, and Thailand.
