Who is Chanu Saikhom Mirabai?

Saikhom Mirabai Chanu 

Saikhom Mirabai Chanu is an Indian Weightlifter who won a silver medal in

women's 48-kg weight class at the 2020

Tokyo Olympics, making the whole of

India Proud. This is India's first medal in

the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She won the

medal but her training for this began

when she was very young

Mirabai Chanu was born on 8 August 1994

in Nongpok Kakching, Imphal, Manipur.

When she was very young, she used to

collect firewood from the forest for her

home. Those woods were heavy but she

used to enjoy that weight. Even her elder

rother used to find them quite heavy.

she was inspired by another pioneer of

Indian Weightlifting, Kunjarani Devi. She

told her parents that she also wants to be

the one and her family supported her. But

the training centre was 22 kilometres away

from her home and she had to travel 3

 times every day and with that also had to

e manage her studies. But she did.

Then she shifted to Delhi and began her

training. Coaches saw her talent and began her training. And then she won her first silver medal in 2014. And then in 2016, she qualified for Rio Olympics, this time she did more hard work and put more effort into training but couldn't win a medal. It was disappointing for her and her coaches.

But there is a saying, "You Are Not Defeated When You Lose, You Are Defeated When You Quit'. She again began her training, this time more strict, she didn't even attend her sister's wedding. The disappointment she faced became her greatest teacher and motivation.

And in the 2016 South Asian Games she won the Gold Medal, then in 2017, she won the Gold Medal in the Women's 48kg category in World Weightlifting Championships held at Anaheim, California, United States. India never won any medal before in World Weightlifting Championships for 22 years, but Mirabai Chanu did it.

Her tough training was finally made a big

success to her. She also wona gold in the

2017 Commonwealth Championship. And

then in 2018, she was awarded Padma

Shri. And then again in Commowealth

Games 2018, she won a Gold Medal. And in the 2019 Asian Weightlifting

Championships, she won Bronze.

And now at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she

again made India proud by winning a

silver medal, the first medal of India in

Tokyo Olympics. We feel proud not only

for Mirabai Chanu, but for every player,

representing India in Tokyo Olympics,

and wish them the very best of luck.
