Adidas launches Mirabai Chanu branded shoes
Xtra Time Web Desk: Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu did the country proud by winning silver at the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics. In order to recognize her achievement, world famous sports goods manufacturing brand Adidas has launched Mirabai Chanu branded shoes.
Chanu was in Delhi on Friday to receive the first pair of shoes at an event hosted at the Adidas store at The Promenade Mall in Vasant Kunj. Mirabai met young aspiring weightlifters from Delhi, and motivated them by sharing her journey and experiences including many high and lows.
Mirabai Chanu said, “My journey from a remote village to representing our country at an international sporting event, clearly showcases that sport doesn’t care about gender or stereotypes. In our society, weightlifting has always been perceived as a male dominated sport, it took a lot of courage and hard work to break such stereotypes. I want women to dream and believe in themselves to be able to see possibilities”.
