NEW DELHI: It was a stroll to the top of the podium for Mirabai Chanu at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games (CWG), but not without a feeling and a sentiment that elite-level athletes can have but rarely show when there's lack of competition -- that it gets 'boring'.
En route to a hat-trick of CWG medals, the Tokyo Olympics silver medallist knocked off milestones effortlessly. The Commonwealth and Games records in 'Snatch' were the first to fall. By the time she missed lifting 115kg in her third clean and jerk (C&J) attempt, she had already rewritten the Games record in C&J as well as in the total weight.
