Mirabai Chanu enters 210kg on Tokyo weightlifting start list, higher total than rivals

The Hindu  

Mirabai Chanu has entered 210kg as her expected total in the women’s 49kg start list of the Tokyo Olympic Games to raise the expectation of Indian weightlifting fans on the eve of her event. According to D. Chandrahas Rai, who has served as an international technical official in international competitions, the primary purpose of mentioning the weight is to help the organisers prepare a start list. RELATED| “It helps in preparing the groupings and start list,” Rai, a former secretary of the Indian Weightlifting Federation, told Sportstar, putting in perspective a process under which a lifter who gives the lowest weight starts first followed by those who have given heavier weights. Explaining why Zhihui, who achieved her personal best 213kg in the Asian championships earlier this year, could have given 205kg, Rai said, “That is the minimum weight you target to lift.
