"Pura chance hai medal jeetne ka (there is every chance of winning a medal)," Soniya said here today.
"It is very difficult to say how things will turn out at the competition but if I can give my 100 per cent I stand a very good chance (of winning a medal)," she added.
India earned two quota places for London Olympics -- one each in men's and women's sections (K Ravi Kumar in 69kg and Soniya Chanu) -- in the Senior Asian Championships at Pyeongtaek, South Korea.
India finished fifth in the men's team standings with 134 points and fourth in the women's section with 93 points to earn the quota places.
Soniya said if she can maintain her present form and manage to reach 178kg mark, she could surely win a medal at London.
"I lifted 75kg in snatch to win the bronze, while 100kg in clean and jerk. I finished fourth overall with a total of 175 kgs at the Asian Championships, which was pretty good," said Soniya at the sidelines of a function where Sports Minister Ajay Maken distributed cash awards amounting to Rs 2.12 crore to 158 sportspersons.
"I also did well in the World Championships with a total lift of 171kg and finished sixth overall.
"If I can reach around 178kg at the Olympics, I can certainly win a medal. I am working hard towards achieving it," she added. MORE
