Star Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu clinched a silver medal at the World Championships in the 48kg category here, extending her glittering record in the marquee event where she has been on the podium twice earlier — she won the gold medal at Anaheim, USA in 2017 and a silver in Bogota, Colombia, in 2022.
Chanu, a four-time gold medallist at the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships, produced a total lift of 199kg (84kg in snatch + 115kg in clean and jerk) to be among the medal winners after moving down from the 49kg weight division.
