Olympic silver medallist Mirabai Chanu has renewed her focus while coaching youngsters at the Weightlifting Warriors Academy in Modinagar, working alongside national coach Vijay Sharma, IndiaToday reported. Forty girls between eight and fourteen train there, roughly 20 from Assam and 20 from Manipur, plus others from Jammu and Maharashtra. Chanu herself recently claimed gold in Glasgow, having missed the podium at Paris 2024 by a single kilogram, and she also holds three Commonwealth titles after coming back from injury. Her immediate goal is the Asian Games, beyond which she is expected to move up to the 53kg division while building toward Los Angeles 2028.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The academy's size, age range and regional makeup are concrete, checkable details rather than a general impression of the work. Chanu's competitive record in the account, gold at Glasgow, fourth place at Paris 2024 by a single kilogram and three Commonwealth titles after returning from injury, is what the coaching story is built on. Her next stated target is the Asian Games, and the expected move up to the 53kg category afterwards, with Los Angeles 2028 in view, is what a later report would confirm.
