While promising weightlifter Jeremy Lalrinnunga is facing criticism for refusing an offer to travel to the USA for rehab and has been removed from the National camp, chief National coach Vijay Sharma is confident that the youngster will overcome the ‘bad phase’ in his career and emerge stronger.
Jeremy, the 67kg Commonwealth Games champion who overcame a hand injury during the Birmingham Games last year, was diagnosed with a back issue in the first week of last month following which there were doubts over his participation in the Asian Games and World championships.
“Even if he misses the Paris Olympics next year, he can compete in the next two Olympics. I have not seen a more talented lifter than Jeremy.”Vijay Sharma on Jeremy Lalrinnunga
