Heading into the competition at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Solihull, Mirabai Chanu was the outright favourite to win her division and lived up to the billing with a total lift of 201kg (snatch – 88kg; clean and jerk – 113 kg).
With her mark, Mirabai Chanu shattered the Commonwealth Games record in the category.
The previous Games record, in fact, was held by Chanu herself courtesy a 191kg lift which brought her the 48kg gold medal at Gold Coast 2018.
“Am very happy to break the new Games record. It’s a special medal for me, just after the Olympics. My fight today was against myself. I wanted to touch 90kg in snatch but it didn’t happen. Hopefully it will come soon. My next target is the world championships.” – Mirabai Chanu
