Mirabai Chanu has finally won the Asian Games medal that kept slipping away from her. After finishing fourth at Hangzhou and missing an Olympic medal in Paris by just one kilogram, Chanu returned to the podium in Nagoya with a 198kg total. Her silver also ended India’s 28-year wait for an Asian Games weightlifting medal. Rupha Ramani traces Mirabai’s journey through injuries, near-misses and major titles, while looking at the legacy of Karnam Malleswari and the next generation of Indian women in strength sports. --- Mirabai Chanu | Mirabai Chanu Asian Games 2026 | Mirabai Chanu Silver Medal | Asian Games 2026 | Asian Games Medal | India Weightlifting | Indian Weightlifting | India Weightlifting Medal | Asian Games Weightlifting | Mirabai Chanu Weightlifting | India Sports | Indian Sports | Asian Games India | Hangzhou Asian Games | Karnam Malleswari | Women’s Weightlifting | Weightlifting News | Indian Women in Sport | First Sports | Rupha Ramani | Firstpost | Sports News #mirabaich
