Fit-again Mirabai will win medal at Paris Olympics: IWLF chief Yadav

The sport that was supposed to look up and march forward managed to slip. Though there have been speculations about Mirabai's injury, Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWLF) president Sahdev Yadav is optimistic that she will win another medal at the next Olympics in Paris this summer.

Between the buzzer and clanking of metal in the make-shift sprawling AC hall outside the JN Indoor Stadium here on Sunday, the WFI chief said that the sport in fact has been improving. "We have quite a few young weightlifters who are doing well and will be ready by the next Olympics (LA2028)," said the top WFI official on the sidelines of the Khelo India Youth Games.

Men, women, and children were trampled in temples, rallies, and film events. The founder of the Srikakulam Venkateswara Temple, after nine devotees were killed in a Diwali crowd surge, dismissed the deaths as “God’s will.” It was not. It was ours.
