On winning a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, weightlifter Mirabai Chanu has not just made the nation proud but has also inspired future generations.
For example, Indian weightlifter and Arjuna awardee Sathish Sivalingam took to Twitter to post a video of a little girl imitating Mirabai Chanu, who was on television, and lifting a barbell, reports The Indian Express. The girl cutely mimicked Chanu’s epic winning moment.
Have a look:

People online absolutely loved the video! Showering their love on the little girl, they expressed their happiness on seeing future generations having new role models like Mirabai Chanu.
So good to see a child imitating an athlete and not bollywood item song dance! 🙏
