Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu opened the account in the medal tally for Team India in the ongoing Olympics on Saturday as she won a silver in the 49kg category and fell just short of the gold medal limit. This ended the wait of 21 years for a medal in weightlifting.
Following her win, speaking to NDTV, Mirabai Chanu expressed her craving for pizza saying that was the first thing she wanted to have after the win. "First of all, I will go and have a pizza. It has been a long time since I ate it. I will eat a lot today," she said.
Seeing her crave for pizza, the fast-food chain Domino's Pizza congratulated her on the win and wished her with a special announcement of a gift to her of lifetime free pizza.
"@Mirabai_chanu Congratulations on bringing the medal home! You brought the dreams of a billion+ Indians to life and we couldn’t be happier to treat you to FREE Domino’s pizza for life. Congratulations again!” Domino's India tweeted.
The moment Domino's made the announcement the fans and the users on Twitter appreciated the pizza chain for their noble gesture. Many said that they will eat pizza from Domino's only from now on while many were inspired by the free pizza announcement.
