The gold was won by China’s Hou Zhihui with an effort of 210kg and the bronze by Indonesia’s Aisah Windy Cantika with an effort of 194kg.

Mirabai said that it's really a dream come true for her. She added that she would like to dedicate this medal to the country and would like to thank a billion prayers of all Indians. She thanked her family especially her mother for a lot of sacrifices and for believing in her. She also thanked the Indian government for supporting her, the Ministry of Sports, SAI, IAP, the Weightlifting Federation of India, Railways, OGQ, Sponsors, and her marketing agency IOS for their constant support in her journey.
