After the final, Manipuri lifter revealed that she felt weakness on stage as it was the third day of her menstruation.

Mirabai finished with a score of 199 kg after the conclusion of the two phases of the competition, 3kgs kg less than her total at the Tokyo Olympics (202 kg) for a silver medal. Her personal best is 205 kg which she lifted in the 2020 Asian Championship.

"I am happy with the performance... I tried my best to give my 100 to give Indian a medal but. I managed this despite having very little time for recovery after my injury. I tried my best to get a medal for India but it was not in destiny. It was the third day of my period and in Tokyo it was my second day so that also affects your body a bit," Mirabai told reporters.
