My target is still 90kg, have tweaked my snatch technique: Chanu
Orissa POST
|July 09, 2025
She has won nearly every accolade the sport has to offer, but Tokyo Olympics silver-medallist weightlifter Mirabai Chanu remains in relentless pursuit of one elusive milestone the 90kg snatch lift.
Injuries had disrupted her previous Olympic cycle, and the former world champion hasn’t competed since finishing fourth at the Paris Games. However, a recent tweak in technique has reignited belief that the long-cherished mark may finally be within reach.
“My target is still 90kg. I will compete full strength at the (2026) Asian Games,” Chanu replied to a query by PTI on the sidelines of the opening of ASMITA Weightlifting League.
The diminutive Manipuri has been eyeing the 90kg mark since 2019. While she has managed to cross the barrier in training, replicating that success in competition has remained out of grasp even as several contemporaries have gone past the milestone.
