Mirabai & coach Sharma shift focus to Asiad, CWG

The Tokyo Games silver medallist was the favourite to add to her tally in the recently concluded quadrennial event but that was not to be. The loss might be heartbreaking but it failed to break the 30year-old weightlifter's spirit.

Quickly moving on from the Paris defeat, Mirabai and head coach Vijay Sharma have set their eyes on upcoming events including the 2026 Asian Games and Commonwealth Games. Currently, on a much-needed break, the duo is expected to reunite in a couple of months to chalk out future roadmap. "It's been years since I have taken a long break so I have taken one month's leave. Similarly, Mira is on a two-month break. I will spend time with my family while she also plans to make up for the lost time by being with her family in Manipur," coach Sharma told this daily from his hometown Modinagar, Uttar Pradesh.
