Olympic silver medallist Mirabai Chanu has been working hard on her snatch technique but her efforts did not bear fruit on Thursday as the Manipuri lifter failed short of bettering her own national record in the section, despite comfortably winning the gold medal at the inaugural Khelo India Weightlifting League at Nagrota Bagwan in Himachal Pradesh.
The 27-year-old started off with a successful 86kg lift in snatch before her futile attempts of lifting 89kg left her short of shattering the national record. Eventually, she picked the yellow metal with a total lift of 191kg (86kg + 105kg).
