Which weight category will Mirabai Chanu move to for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after her current class was dropped?
53kgMirabai Chanu, Olympic silver medalist in the 49kg category at Tokyo 2020, will shift to the 53kg weight class for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) eliminated the 49kg category from the Olympic program. The lowest women’s weight class at LA 2028 will now be 53kg, as the IOC expanded the total number of weightlifting events to 12. Chanu had already moved to 48kg earlier in 2025 after the IWF temporarily removed the 49kg class, but it has since been reinstated for non-Olympic events. Her coach Vijay Sharma believes the move to 53kg will benefit her by reducing the physical strain of extreme weight cutting. She will continue competing in the 48/49kg category until the 2026 Asian Games before gradually transitioning.
