Mirabai lifted a total of 201kg (88kg snatch, 113kg in clean&jerk) to win in style. In the process, she also set a new Commonwealth Games record.
The second-best weightlifter, Ranaivosoa Marie Hanitra Roilya of Mauritius, was behind by a distance with a total lift of 172 kg (76kg snatch, 96 kg clean & jerk).
Mirabai started on a brilliant note with an 84kg attempt on her first try. With her successful second attempt, not only did Mirabai Chanu equal her national snatch record of 88kg with her second lift, but also registered a new Commonwealth Games record in the women's snatch category.
She, however, couldn't get through her third snatch attempt of 90kg but a medal was in sight,.
In the Clean and Jerk, Mirabai successfully lifted 109kg to assure India of a gold medal. She soon lifted 113kg to breach the 200kg mark (overall) but fouled in her final attempt of 115kg.
But by then, the gold medal was in Mirabai Chanu's firm grasp.
