The Delhi airport staff cheered her on as she walked out. Slogans were repeated with fervour, and applause followed her at every step. The Indian weightlifter took the mandatory RT-PCR test as soon as she arrived and was greeted with a congratulatory bouquet of flowers. 

I am really happy on winning silver medal in #Tokyo2020 for my country….It’s really a dream come true for me. I would like to dedicate this medal to my country and would like to thank a billion prayers of all Indians which were with me during this journey.
