Mirabai Chanu Reveals Tears Behind Emotional Commonwealth Games Gold

A strong athlete named Mirabai Chanu won a gold medal in weightlifting at a big sports event called the Commonwealth Games.

When she stood on the winner's platform, tears streamed down her face.

She talked to her country's leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, about why she was crying.

She had a very hard four years before this win.

She got many injuries and also had problems in her family.

She missed winning a medal at the Olympics by just one kilogram, which was very sad for her.

When her country's flag went up and its song played, all her feelings poured out.

The Prime Minister was kind, fed her a sweet treat called a laddu, and said her tears looked like gold medals falling.

Her win made the people of India feel very proud.
