Mirabai Chanu, who has been away from the limelight due to an injury-riddled preparation, will be the center of attention on Wednesday as she strives to become the first Indian weightlifter to secure two Olympic medals.

Since suffering from hip tendonitis during the Asian Games in October, Chanu has maintained a low profile. Her Olympic cycle has been relatively lackluster, primarily due to injury management and workload adjustments.
