He has one more record of becoming the first Indian teenager to win a gold medal at the Youth Olympics in 2018. He earned these moments with his sheer dedication, hard work and passion.

Brief Synthesis


Jeremy was born in 2002 in Aizwal, Mizoram. Sports was in his genes as his father was a boxer. Jeremy has always been obsessed with shiny things and as a child, growing up in Aizawl, he had a couple of ‘ shiny  toys’. Which were the medals of his father, Lalneihtluanga. His father won two golds at the sub-junior national level.

 “They were mounted on the wall of our house. But my brothers and I would play with them all the time. We would pretend we were champions. We even lost one of his medals while playing,” Jeremy said.
He has a poor background and hence his family condition kept him away from pursuing his aspirations. He started working with the neighbourhood Power Works Department as a laborer.

He started boxing  before lifting weights. According to some reports, he learned to lift weights by lifting heavy bamboos. He then made history by becoming the first Indian to win a gold medal at the Youth Olympics in the men’s 62kg division in 2018. Before participating in an international competition, he was a member of the Army’s Boys Sports Company and there he earned multiple medals.
