India's Mirabai Chanu will be a medal hopeful as the Indian weightlifting contingent gets down to business on July 30 at the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022 (CWG 2022).
Mirabai Chanu shot to fame when she became India's first medalist at the Tokyo Olympics after winning a silver medal. The versatile weightlifer will hope to carry the good form into CWG 2022 as well.
Mirabai will be looking to complete a hat-trick of medals at the CWG. She won a silver medal in 2014 and bettered that with a gold medal in the 2018 edition. Anything less than a gold medal at Birmingham would be a disappointment for the young weightlifter.

For the record, Mirabai holds the Commonwealth Games record in snatch and clean & jerk, giving her the much-needed motivation and confidence to finish first on the podium.
Another shot-in-the-arm is Mirabai Chanu's personal best which is way ahead of her rivals. The Indian's personal best of 207 kg (88kg (s) + 119kg (c&j)) is miles ahead of her closest rival, Nigeria's Stella Kingsley's 168 kg (72kg (s) + 96kg (c&j)).
The weightlifting team collected nine medals in the last edition of the Commonwealth Games, out of which five were gold. Two of the gold medalists from the Gold Coast Games — Mirabai Chanu and Punam Yadav — will be participating this time too.
Bindyarani Devi won the gold medal in the clean and jerk category with a lift of 114kg in the women's 55kg event at the 2021 IWF World Championships and will be eager to deliver her best again.
