Mirabai Chanu is setting an example on how to lead from the front. Not only is she inspiring youngsters across the globe through her performances, the 2020 Olympic silver medalist is also the first to motivate and congratulate them. This time, however, it's not coming from the Indian contingent. Pakistani weightlifter and men's +109kg champion Nooh Dastagir Butt received Mirabai Chanu's greetings after his top-notch performance. Nooh told PTI: “It was such a proud moment for me when she congratulated me and praised my performance. We look up to Mirabai for inspiration. She has shown us that, we from the South Asian countries can also win an Olympic medal. We became so proud of her when she won the silver at the Tokyo Olympics.” Earlier, Jeremy Lalrinnunga, men's 67kg weightlifting champion, also shared that Mirabai had cheered him on from the first row. Mirabai has been an inspiration and support to millions of youngsters, one of them being Jeremy, CWG 2022 men's 67kg champion. Jeremy Lalrinnunga said in a press conference: “Didi (Mirabai Chanu) motivates me a lot. She extended her support and pushed me to give my best before my finals. She was cheering for me from the very first row. I got to learn so many things from her. She has been there for us and helped us whenever we need her. I have learnt a lot from her be it her hard work, Olympics medal or her overall journey."
