Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu withdraws from the IWF World Championships due to a back issue, just before competing. The withdrawal leaves the spotlight on her compatriot Gyaneshwari Yadav, who competes in the women’s 53kg category.
Across the outlets, Gyaneshwari’s result is described as an eighth-place finish. One report adds further detail from the event, saying she lifts 198kg and tops Group C, while also missing two attempts that could have raised her personal best from 199kg. Another source similarly notes Chanu’s back pain and Yadav’s eighth-place finish, without additional lift-by-lift context. A third outlet repeats the same core framing of Chanu’s withdrawal and Yadav’s finishing position.
