Small gyms in Gangtok don’t get much, but the girls who train here — they follow Mirabai Chanu like she’s their own. I saw a young chai-stall girl save three months’ tips for a proper barbell, because she saw Mirabai lift and thought, *if she can, why not me?* That’s what real infrastructure does — not stadiums, just the permission to believe the next kid from a small hill town can hoist a world record. My café’s WiFi was down that day, so we listened to the news on a crackling radio, and every single person in the room stopped cleaning or chopping for that final jerk. The kind of strength that doesn’t need a big stage to matter.
