If you want to win a medal, just put a picture of it as your wallpaper on your mobile phone, weightlifter Jeremy Lalrinnunga’s easy way to make your dreams come true. He says that it gives 100% success. The same philosophy worked for him at the 2018 Youth Olympics in which he won India’s first gold medal and it worked again on Sunday when he won the yellow medal in the men’s 67kg event of the Commonwealth Games. The current youth Olympic champion won gold in her Commonwealth Games debut.
“I did the same thing before the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires and I did the same for Birmingham,” he said. So will the next wallpaper be of a Paris Olympic medal? Jeremy smiled despite the pain in his calf muscles, saying, ‘Yes, this (Olympic medal) is the eye, but there is a long and difficult way to go.’
The 19-year-old weightlifter will have to change his weight category for the Paris Olympics as his 67kg category has been dropped by the International Weightlifting Federation. “This change will not be easy,” he said. I have to play in the higher weight category, I have to gain 6 kg to reach the Olympic 73 weight category. There is hope for Paris.
Jeremy has a great faith in God and is also quite superstitious, with a large tattoo on his left arm showing a boxer and a wrestler in ‘action’ and below it clearly shows ‘MOM’ in Roman numbers. “7-7 is the date of birth of my mother (Lalmuanpui) while my father started boxing in 1988,” he said.
Above in the tattoo is 11112011 which dates back to November 11, 2011, when Jeremy stepped onto the weightlifting board at the age of nine. He said, ‘Whenever I am a little depressed or in difficult times, I look at these tattoos. I have a lot of faith in God and when tough times come, I call my mother and ask her to pray for me.
