Imphal, Aug 05:
Olympic Silver medalist Saikhom Mirabai today wins the heart of all people in the nation as she honoured the truck drivers who helped her reaching to this stage as Olympic medal winner.
Since the time she had been given reception, Mirabai always mentioned how the truck drivers had been helping her in reaching the Khuman Lampak for practicing sports event which is around 30 km away. She had always stated that it was the truck drivers who carry her to Khuman lampak who help her achieved this stage.
As she met the truck drivers today she broke down with tears and thank them for everything they had done for her.
Mirabai honoured the truck drivers with gifts as a token of love.
The weightlifter’s village in Manipur is located 30 km away from Khuman Lampak in Imphal. She had little to no access to get to the sporting academy to get herself trained in weight-lifting.
That is where Mirabai found help from somewhere she hadn’t expected. Several truck drivers from her village, who used to carry sand to the city, offered her lifts every single day without asking for any incentives.
The 26-year-old never forgot their kind deeds. Mirabai Chanu invited all those truck drivers to her home and decided to reward and felicitate them. Her humility and gratitude to share her happiness with everyone who has helped in her journey to the Olympic medal have only doubled our respect for her.
The truck drivers and Mirabai have also shown us the path of goodwill. A kind deed costs nothing but the reward could potentially be an Olympic medal and so much more.
