Tricolour in hair, tears in her eyes: Mirabai’s golden tribute to India

GLASGOW: (Jul 27) Mirabai Chanu’s gold medal at the Commonwealth Games was wrapped in patriotism.

As she stepped onto the weightlifting platform on Sunday, the three-time Commonwealth Games champion sported butterfly-shaped hair clips made from tricolour ribbons, a tribute to the country she was determined to make proud.

“I wanted to do something for India, so I made these butterfly clips with Indian flag-coloured ribbons last night,” Mirabai told PTI after winning the women’s 48kg gold.
