World and Olympic medallist Mirabai Chanu pulled out of the women’s 53kg competition due to a back sprain at the World Weightlifting Championships in Ningbo on Thursday.

Looking to compete in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, Mirabai switched to the heavier weight after landing a silver in the 49kg at the recently concluded Asian Games in Japan.

According to sources, Mirabai experienced a back sprain while warming up for the competition in the morning and decided not to compete.

Gyaneshwari Yadav, the other Indian in the fray in 53kg, competed in Group ‘C’ and finished an overall eighth with a total lift of 198kg, including 88kg in snatch and 110kg in clean and jerk.
