Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu qualifies for Tokyo Olympics 2020


 The International Weightlifting Fedration(IMF) confirmes on Saturday that Indian Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu has qualified for Tokyo Olympics in women's 49kg category. Chanu, the 2017 best on the world in weightlifting, had gotten her place in Tokyo by winning a bronze medal in the Asian Championship in Tashkent in April with a world record in clean and jerk.

The 26-year-old from Manipur has qualified based on her standings on IWF's Absolute Ranking rundown. Chanu is positioned second in the 49kg classification with 4133,6172 focuses in her kitty.

Chanu was before positioned fourth yet North Korea's withdrawal from the Olympics lifted the Indian to the subsequent spot. 

This will be Chanu's second appearance in the Olympics, five years after a baffling trip in Rio, where she neglected to lift any of the loads in quick lift to quit the show-stopper.
