Birmingham: Weightlifter Saikhom Mirabai Chanu on Saturday created history and also broke her personal record as she clinched India’s first gold medal at the Commonwealth Games 2022 (CWG). Significantly, Chanu was above everyone else in the competition as she lifted her weights quite comfortably in the women’s 49 kg weightlifting event in Birmingham.
