Mirabai Chanu, the 2017 weightlifting world champion (48kg), lifted 86kg in snatch and a world record 119kg in clean and jerk for a total of 205kg to win the bronze medal at the Asian Championship in April this year. Her perfect clean and jerk of 119kg is a world record. Mirabai had a disappointing performance at the Rio Games in 2016, but since then she has won the gold medal in the 2017 World Championships and 2018 Commonwealth Games.
