Mirabai Chanu, fresh off her remarkable achievement of winning three gold medals at the Commonwealth Games, is now focused on securing one prize that has eluded her: a medal at the Asian Games.
In a recent chat with Sports Today’s Nikhil Naz, the Olympic silver medalist expressed her emotions about her recent success. She shared that there’s nothing quite like the pride of representing India and seeing the national flag raised while the anthem plays. The tears she shed on the podium were a reflection of years filled with sacrifices, injuries, and tireless dedication.
Mirabai also talked about the discipline it takes to stay at the top of her game. She humorously noted that even though she enjoys pizza, she postpones her cravings, reminding herself that the true reward will come after winning more medals for India. As she looks forward, the 31-year-old is gearing up to lift heavier weights and compete against Asia’s best. She encourages young girls to dream big, work hard, and believe that no goal is out of reach.
