Asian Weightlifting Championships: Mirabai Chanu finishes disappointing sixth after trouble with dodgy hip

Firstpost  

Jinju, Korea: A dodgy hip dashed star weightlifter Mirabai Chanu’s hopes of a good outing at the Asian Championships as she could manage only two good lifts and finished a disappointing sixth in Jinju on Friday. We just wanted to log one legal lift in the clean and jerk to put up a total.” Since the World Championships in December last, where Chanu won a silver with an overall effort of 200kg, Sharma has been saying that the focus is to just participate in the Olympic qualifiers. The last time Chanu competed at the Asian Championships in 2021, she had returned home with a bronze medal and a world record in clean and jerk. She attempted to break Chanu’s world record of 119kg with a 120kg lift in her final clean and jerk attempt but failed.
