Namit Kumar writes about Jeremy’s pain-ridden gold medal feat at CWG 2022. Despite facing muscle cramps & an elbow injury the 19 year old lifted a total of 300 kg- 7 kg more than anyone else- to win a second gold medal for India at Birmingham.
On Saturday, as Sanket battled injury to complete 139 kg clean & jerk lifts to win silver in 55 kg category it was fellow weightlifter Jeremy whose voice was the loudest. ‘Aayega, aayega!’ he was shouting frantically.
If only Nadal had listened to his body signals, he would stop before injuring himself severely. His threshold of pain is legendary. But one should heed to the body’s shout.
‘No pain, no gain’ I understand. But there is a limit to everything. One should be able to put one’s foot down. The catching of the right moment is a must!
Looking at more such painless moments. Happy sporting!
