Olympics silver medallist Mirabai Chanu gave a ‘satisfactory’ performance in snatch on her way to claim the gold medal in women’s 55kg weight category at the Singapore weightlifting international meet, a Commonwealth Games qualifying event, here on Friday.
In her first competition after the Tokyo Olympic Games, Mirabai, who did 86kg in snatch and 105kg in clean and jerk to total 191kg, became eligible to compete in the 55kg weight category at the Birmingham Games later this year.
“Mira has qualified in both 49kg (as per her IWF Commonwealth ranking) and 55kg. It is up to the Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWLF) to decide in which weight it wants Mira to compete in,” said National coach Vijay Sharma.
