Chanu lifted a total of 202 kg (87kg in snatch and 115kg in clean and jerk) during her four successful attempts across the competition. China's Zhihui Hou bagged gold with a total of 210kg and created a new Olympic Record.
Competing in the 49kg category, Chanu is being considered a sure shot medal prospect for India as her personal best of 205kg is only second to China's Hou Zhihui's effort of 213kg in the eight-woman field
Mirabai, who had a disastrous Olympic debut in Rio after failing to lift on her three attempts in the clean and jerk and failed to advance, the 26-year-old has improved leaps and bounds.
