The 50-year-old Jeevan Giri of Kapilvastu Municipality-5, Sagartol used to play sitorio karate in the covered hall at Gaudhi Chowk, headquarters Taulihwa around 2045/46. His friend used to do 'weight lifting' there. Then he was also attracted to it. However, he had a lot of problems due to lack of financial resources.

 I felt that nothing could be done if I did not practice properly. I figured out a trick, made a dumbbell by putting two 10, 20 and 30 kg weights and cement on sand. Started practicing from that. With constant dedication and hard work, he became a national bodybuilding and strength lifting world champion. 

Now he has shown that a lot can be done with the game. He says that he is happy to make the country's name known to the world through strength lifting. He is also an international champion in strength lifting, from the winner of the Dharmashree title, which is considered the Olympics of physical fitness in Nepal. He won the 10th World Championship held by the World Strength Lifting Federation in Hyderabad, India in 2023.

Being a good and best athlete of strength lifting, he has also been recognized as an international judge (referee) of strength lifting. He was a referee at the 11th World Championship tournament in Kazakhstan in 2024.

Then went back to the gym. In 2019, Kapilvastu Shri organized a national competition to promote Buddhasthal Tilaurakot.  He is equally active in a leadership role saying that
