Indian Railways' weightlifter Saikhom Mirabai Chanu will be richly rewarded on her return to India from Anaheim, USA, where she lifted a new national record of 194 kg (85 kg snatch and 109 kg clean-and-jerk) to win gold at the World Weightlifting Championships yesterday. Mirabai Chanu became only the second Indian weightlifter to win gold at the World Championships after Karnam Malleswari did the same 22 years ago in China.
