Paris, France – August 7: Mirabai Chan Saikhom from Team India (photo by Lars Baron/Genty Images) In the world of weightlifting in high bets, where every gram and every elevator matters, Saikhom Mirabai Chan leaves nothing to chance. Before the Commonwealth Championship in Ahmedabad, which serves as a qualifier for the next year, the Commonwealth Games in Glasgowa, has performed a stellar jack from the manipur of comprehensive reworking its training mode. With renewed focus on food, recovery and management of workload, a 31 -year -old man accepts a change caused by reworking international rules for competition. In June, the international weightlifting federation revised its weight category and scrapped the female division of 49 kg – a class in which Mirabai competed for the last seven years and in which she won the silver at the Tokyo Olympics.

Now Mirabai is returning to a category of 48 kg of women – a division, where she first announced her arrival on the global scene by winning silver at Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014. “Although it may seem like only 1 kg of decline, it takes a serious tax on the body,” said her long -time coach Vijay Sharma Toi. “We had the opportunity to go up to 53 kg or descend to 48 kg. We chose it because it better suits its natural weight.” Sharma and coach-cum-diet AP Datharna’s coaching and two months ago returned to the drawing board two months ago to completely re-involve Mirabai training strategy to maximize its performance without risk injuries. Rather than pushing it with heavy disposable lifts, its daily load-with a lot of about 12 to 14 tonnes-now spreads evenly throughout the day. “This method keeps every exercise manageable and gives its body time to recover,” Sharma said. “The key is recovery. The spread of workload helps her adapt better, remain fresh and maintain strength,” he said. Dathan calibrated Mirabai’s diet, increases protein intake to help repair muscles and prevent muscle loss and at the same time reduce carbohydrates. “Foods with a high protein, such as lean meat, eggs, lentils and dairy, have prominently complex carbohydrates such as all grains and vegetables,” Dathan said. Renewal strategy goes beyond training and nutrition. Mirabai is now undergoing regular massages, ice baths and sauna treatment at least twice a week to reduce inflammation and relieve muscle pain, supported by a reserved masseuse. Mirabai is optimistic with the unwavering attention of her support team for details about her prospects in the new weight category. After the Commonwealth Championship, weightlifting in Ahmedabad will prepare for the World Championship in October. While the Commonwealth games remain vital to their plans, Mirabai focuses on the Asian Games 2026 in Japan-the very important event with more sports where they still have to win the medal. The injury was derailed by her campaigns in the release of 2018 and 2023, which makes this event an elusive goal.
