Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu won India a silver medal in weightlifting on the first day of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 games.
It has been a long journey for the young athlete from Manipur who wanted to give up the sport after the fiasco at the Rio games.
In an interview with Jyotsna Mohan, she talks of how she picked up the pieces and what it took to reach the top - the sacrifices, a salad only diet for years and the ultimate joy.
Q: Mirabai, congratulations on your big victory and the silver medal. What was going on in your mind at that moment when history was in the making?
