Paris Olympics: Another Heartbreak For India As Lifter Mirabai Chanu Misses Out On Medal
Paris Olympics: A day of heartbreaks has just turned worse for Indian fans as top medal hopeful and silver medallist at the Tokyo Olympics, S. Mirabai Chanu finished fourth in the women’s 49 kg weightlifting final here on Wednesday.
The 2020 Tokyo silver medallist finished with a score of 199 kg after the conclusion of the two phases of the competition. Her personal best is 205 kg which she lifted in the 2020 Asian Championship.
Despite being in the bronze medal spot after her second last attempt, Chanu was pipped to the post by Thailand’s Surodchana Khambao as the Indian failed to lift her final attempt of 114 kg in the catch and jerk phase, which is a disappointment considering she once held the world record for clean and jerk (119kg).
