Summary:
New Delhi, Oct 26 (PTI) After the high of the Tokyo Games, India"s Olympic silver medallist weightlifter Mirabai Chanu has turned her focus on winning a second world championship title and is ironing out the chinks in her armour ahead of the event.
Chanu had clinched the gold at the world championships in 2017 but since then a medal at the event has eluded her.

"I am working on my shortcomings and weakness in the technique in training.
I will be trying my best to become a world champion a second time," Chanu told PTI.
