MORE than a year after a disappointing fourth place finish at the 2024 Paris Olympics, ace lifter Mirabai Chanu will be seen lifting weights in an international event during the 2025 Commonwealth Senior, Junior and Youth Championships.

- FIROZ MIRZA @Chennai

The event is scheduled to be held in Ahmedabad, Gujarat from August 24 to 30. With the International Weightlifting Federation revising weight categories and scrapping her pet division 49kg, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics silver medallist will compete in 48kg at the championships.

Around 300 athletes from 31 countries are set to compete in the tournament.

"Mirabai is fit and ready for the tournament," Vijay Sharma, weightlifting head coach, told this daily. The competition will be held in eight weight categories in each senior, junior and youth sections. The championships is also a qualifying event for the 2026 Commonwealth Games scheduled in Glasgow, Scotland.
