    I had predicted earlier that our Weightlifters have improved significantly and also predicted that we could win couple of medals in these Championships on merit.I.e Had all the Nation's been participating then also we could have won Medals.This Gold proves that.

    However,this Gold is EPIC.ALL THE CONGRATULATIONS TO MIRABAI.Hope she gets gets rewarded well after this HISTORIC FEAT.

    CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG,BUT I FEEL AFTER KARNAM MALLESWARI WINNING A GOLD THIS IS OUR FIRST GOLD IN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.

    HOPE SHE CONTINUES WITH THIS FORM AND WINS US A MEDAL IN 2020 OLYMPICS.

    AS OF NOW,HOPE SHE GETS REWARDED WELL AND MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO HER AND HER FAMILY.PROUD OF HER..

    THIS MEDAL TAKES OUR TALLY TO 5 MEDALS IN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS EVENTS ,NOT COUNTING SHOOTING , TENNIS,ARCHERY EVENTS AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE EVENTS IN A YEAR IN THESE SPORTS.

    2 in Badminton,2 in BOXING (1 in Men's and 1 in Women's (I am only taking the Olympics category for Women's Boxing )and now this Gold in Women's Weightlifting.

    This means we are on the right track of achieving double digit medals in the 2020 Olympics.

    While this is a great achievement, as usual Indian Media fooling public with hype and lies. Times of India writing it as World Record??? 
    Mirabai Chanu lifted total of 194 kilos. World Record is 217 kilos. In olympics also, 200 kilos is lifted.

    In this championship, weightlifters from countries like North korea, China, russia, iran, venezuela, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan are not participating. These are the countries which win medals at world events.
    By Asian Games and Olympics, all those weightlifters of the above mentioned countries will be back.

    Although that is not any fault of Mirabai Chanu but competition will be fierce in future events. This tournament is World only in name- with almost all medal winning countries debarred.

    That is true Munna but the fact is that the weight Total which she has lifted i.e 194kg is a Total which makes her a Medal Contender irrespective of who participates.

    In short, this is a Weight Total which will make you win Medals irrespective of the opposition.

    This weight total would have Resulted in Silver Medal at 2016 Olympics and Bronze at 2012 Olympics.

    So,this makes her a genuine Medal Contender even if all the Country's would have Participated is what I am saying.

    Also,Medal Winning countries doesn't necessarily mean that they will win Medal in every category.

    Eg)India being a Super Power in Badminton is only capable of winning Medals in either Men's Singles or Women's Singles at World Events.

    Similarly,All the countries which you have mentioned doesn't necessarily mean that all of them would have a Top Notch Women's lifter in 48 kg category only which is Mirabai' category.

    There are 16 categories in Total.Medal winning country doesn't mean that they'll win Medal in all 16 categories.

    Also,my experience is that Asian Countries tend to dominate This 48 kg Women's category.

    So,Mirabai is a Medal Hope/Contender irrespective of the opponent.

    Why is Team GBR now called England? 
    Reference: Hockey World League Finals
  • munna219777munna219777 28607 Points
    Team GBR can only play in Olympics as only UN recognised territories can play there. But same like Football, England Scotland are separate members in FIH and thus separate teams.
