A historic silver medal and a radiant smile were not the only eye-catching things about Mirabai Chanu, her gold earrings shaped like Olympic rings were as striking, a gift from her mother who sold her own jewellery for them five years ago. "I saw the earrings on TV, I gave them to her in 2016 before the (Rio) Olympics. I have made it for her from the gold pieces and savings I have so that it brings luck and success," Leima said.
