India at Olympics 2021: Weightlifting
Mirabai Chanu made history as she became the one and only Indian weightlifter to qualify for Tokyo Olympics 2021 after securing the 2nd spot in the Absolute Rankings. She was placed 2nd in the 49kg category on the Absolute Ranking list issued by the International Weightlifting Federation.
This will be the 26-year-old's second Olympics after the 2016 Rio Games where she failed to lift any of the weights in clean and jerk.
But Chanu is one of India's biggest medal hopes at the Games this year and recently gave a glimpse of her potential when she shattered the world record in clean and jerk to win the bronze medal at Asian Weightlifting Championships.
Chanu lifted 86kg in snatch and a world record of 119kg in clean and jerk for a total of 205kg to set a new world record in clean and jerk while also bettering her own national record in the process.
