A brief biography

As in 2024 May

Sabi.Hussain, June 6, 2024: The Times of India


Jaismine Lamboria had lost all hopes of representing India at the Paris Olympics after failing to book her berth from two qualification events – Hangzhou Asian Games and first world boxing qualifier held in Italy from March 3 to 11.


She was back to her training base in Haryana’s Bhiwani district – from where she originally belongs – pondering over what went wrong and the road ahead as the 22-year-old looked to channelise her energy for the women’s World Championships and other international meets later this year.
Then, out of nowhere, came a surprise call from the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) and the boxer was asked to get competition ready for the second world qualification event in Thailand. She was given only one week to prepare and, that too, not in her original weight category of 60kg.


Jaismine was told that she will have to compete in the women’s 57kg division to reclaim the Paris Olympics quota in the same weight class which India was forced to surrender after Parveen Hooda’s 22-month suspension by the International Testing Agency (ITA) for whereabouts failure. 
Jaismine made good the opportunity to fulfill her dream of participating in the Olympics.


Talking about her qualification journey, Jaismine said, “It was an advantage (competing in 57kg) as my competitors weren’t a s tall a s me. I used my height and long reach to beat them. I have an attacking game but for Paris, I am working on counterattacking and to connect my open punches.”
