Mirabai Chanu pulls out of World Championships; Gyaneshwari finishes eighth

Gyaneshwari Yadav made a strong impression at the IWF World Championships with a 198kg lift, clinching first place in Group C. Although she missed two crucial attempts that could have improved her personal best of 199kg, her effort stood out. In a twist of events, Mirabai Chanu had to withdraw due to back pain just before competing in Group B.
