Mirabai, who turns 30 today, lifted a total of 199kg (88kg in snatch and 111kg in clean and jerk), falling just 3kg short of her total lift at the Tokyo Olympics, where she secured a silver medal.

Mirabai Chanu, who has been away from the limelight due to injuries, will be the centre of attention on Wednesday as she aims to secure India's second Olympic weightlifting medal. However, tough competition and ongoing fitness issues pose significant challenges.

The Tokyo Olympics silver medallist will acclimatise to the weather and prepare for the quadrennial showpiece during her month-long stint in La Ferte-Milon in Paris, according to a statement by the Sports Ministry's Mission Olympic Cell.
