Glorifying Indian tricolor with pride! Indian weightlifter Bindyarani Devi has brought laurels to the country. She won the first gold medal for the country in the ongoing 2021 IWF World Weightlifting Championship.
Bindyarani Devi Sorokhaibamhas won the gold medal in the clean& jerk category. At the on-going championship in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, she also earned a silver medal in snatch. Devi took silver in the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships in the women’s 55kg category. Bindyarani Devi’s medal is the first for India at the on-going edition of the event.

Bags Silver and Gold
Devi finished second in the Commonwealth Championships with a total lift of 198kg (84+114). Nigeria’s AdijatOlarinoye came first by lifting 203kg (90+113). However, Devi also received a gold medal for lifting the most weight in the clean and jerk category, according to Commonwealth Championship rules.
Under Commonwealth Championship rules, she lifted the highest 114 kg in the clean and jerk event, for which she was awarded the gold medal in the event. Earlier, Devi had missed out on a bronze medal at the World Championships and finished fourth.

Championships held simultaneously
The World championship and Commonwealth Championships are being held in Tashkent at the same time. Gold medalists in each event at the Commonwealth Championships will be automatically entered into the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham next year.

Mirabai 2.0
Indian weight lifter star, Bindyaranidevi hails from Manipur. She has been resembled to ‘Mirabai 2.0’ in the past. Coming from similar backgrounds and the same state and club, there are many similarities between young lifter Bindyarani and Olympic medalist MirabaiChanu.
