Chris Hemsworth Says Mirabai Chanu Is Worthy Of Wielding Thor’s Hammer After CWG Medal Win. We Like This One!
Mirabai Chanu smashed four records during the current 2022 Commonwealth Games, giving India its first gold medal. The Olympic silver medalist finished the main event with a total lift of 201 kg, shattering both the Commonwealth and Games records in snatch (88 kg 113 kg). And she was obviously lauded by everyone online. However, one fan made such an apt remark that Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth responded! Ah, the way I want to be her right now!
Chanu, 27, now has three medals overall following the win of silver and gold in the Glasgow and Gold Coast editions, respectively. Twitter went into frenzy to celebrate Chanu’s accomplishment, and Chris Hemsworth was one of her admirers. He praised the “legend” but added a Thor twist.
She is worthy! Congrats, Saikhom, you legend.
