This medal has helped wipe out the sad memo- ries of Rio Olympics when the world’s number two lifter failed to register even a single lift in her three lifts and the result board showed DNF or Did Not Finish. At that moment Mirabai wept. So what if she missed out on gold, it is creditable that Mi- rabai did not allow the Rio mo- ment to haunt her in Tokyo. It showed her determination to bounce back and her coach’s faith in her. Her medal also helped over- come the setback suffered by Deepika Kumari in the mixed team event in which she was a strong medal contender.
