(PC: Getty Images) In a battle between two champion weightlifters, India's Jeremy Lalrinnunga and Achinta Sheuli will vie for the lone spot in the 73kg category at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The two weightlifters competing for one spot comes in the wake of Jeremy Lalrinnunga's 67kg event not featuring in the quadrennial Games. The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) has scrapped the 67kg category from the Olympics. Accordingly, Lalrinnunga will bulk up for the 73kg category. Both Lalrinnunga and Sheuli won gold medals in their respective categories at the recently concluded 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. With only one weightlifter per country allowed in each category, Sheuli, who is the national record holder and reigning CWG champion in the 73kg division, will compete with Lalrinnunga for the lone spot.

The 19-year-old lifter won the 2018 Youth Olympics gold medal in Buenos Aires in the 62kg category. He then moved to 67kg to comply with the new Olympic weight categories the IWF had introduced at the time.
