NEW DELHI: We were in the process of warming up to the Tokyo Olympics three years ago when Mirabai Chanu took over the stage. The Indian weightlifter’s silver on the first day was the perfect appetizer as India went on the road to their best-ever Olympics haul of seven medals.
A few things have changed since then, Mirabai has had her share of injuries, but all that’s history now. Her event is on August 7, and the 30-year-old is 100 kilometres away from Paris in her training base, hoping to become the first Indian weightlifter to win back-to-back Olympic medals.
