India`s Jeremy Lalrinnunga had a forgetful Asian Championships campaign as he could not register an overall total after failing to lift in any of his three clean-and-jerk attempts in a disappointing show on Sunday. However, he won a silver medal in the snatch event with a personal best-equalling lift of 141kg in the non-Olympic 67kg weight class.

Competing in his first tournament since winning the gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, the 20-year-old was the only one in the 12-lifter field who did not finish (DNF) his event. He failed to lift 165kg in his first two clean and jerk attempts. He then increased the weight to 168kg, which would have been 2kg more than his personal best and also a national record, but the reigning Youth Olympic champion faltered again. In fact, out of six attempts, three each in snatch and clean and jerk, Jeremy could lift the barbell only twice.
