Despite her coach advising her to withdraw from the competition, she opted to continue, driven by her desire to earn a medal for the nation.<br \/>&#8220;When I was warming up before the snatch section, I felt pain on my thigh, I think deep sheathing hit me. They have put ice and some spray, and will see in India what kind of treatment we will do. I am having pain now also,&#8221; Chanu said after the event, where she finished fourth.<br \/>&#8220;It is pain in the glutes and the bones on the right side of the thigh,&#8221; she added.<br \/>An Asian Games medal is the only silverware missing from the Manipuri&#8217;s decorated cabinet. Chanu had finished ninth in the 2014 edition and was forced to miss the 2018 Games due to a back injury.<br \/>&#8220;I had trained hard but I could not bring the results because of this pain. I tried my best to win a medal for the country but could not. I am feeling bad.<br \/>&#8220;I could not take part in the 2018 Asian Games. It was my dream to win a medal in the Asian Games but it is not happening. Now, my target is to do well in the Paris Olympics.&#8221;<br \/>&#8220;Pain had started during snatch warm up. Sir (Vijay Sharma) asked me if I wanted to pull out because it may lead to serious injury. But I continued because I wanted to win a medal,&#8221; she added.<br \/>Chanu lifted 108kg in her first clean and jerk but increased the weight to 117kg with an eye on a medal.<br \/>&#8220;I was feeling pain but I pushed up the second attempt in clean and jerk to 117kg. If I had lifted 117kg I would have won a bronze medal.<br \/>&#8220;I passed just one lift (both in snatch, and clean and jerk). Had I done 86kg in snatch, I could have gone easier also.&#8221;<br \/>She said no treatment was given in between competitions.<br \/>&#8220;It is not allowed to give treatment during competition, so we put some tapes on the thigh and did the clean and jerk.&#8221;<br \/><span class=\"em \">(With inputs from PTI)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/asian-games-2023\/india-asian-games\/mirabai-chanu-disappointed-as-thigh-muscle-injury-ends-her-asian-games-campaign-without-medal\/articleshow\/104069312.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu on Saturday expressed disappointment after being unable to realise her dream of securing an Asian Games medal due to a thigh muscle injury sustained during the women&#8217;s 49kg event in Hangzhou on Saturday.The Olympic silver medalist said that she began experiencing pain during her warm-up before the event.
