Tokyo silver medalist wrestler Ravi Dahiya has been nominated for the prestigious Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award for the year 2021, but according to a report, he has some reservations about the same. It seems that Dahiya has written a letter to the WFI, sharing his reservations.

Indian wrestler Ravi Dahiya is aiming to bring home a medal each from the 2022 CWG and the 2022 Asian Games, after claiming a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics earlier this year. The wrestler recently pulled out of the 2021 World Wrestling Championships, due to lack of preparation time.

The Wrestling Federation of India had apparently sent more than the permitted number of support staff for the Tokyo Games, even though Vinesh Phogat’s personal physio was not included in spite of her requests. The seven-member wrestling squad fetched two medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Bajrang Punia, on Saturday, put up a stunning show in the Men's freestyle 65kg in Wrestling as he beat Daulet Niyazbekov of Kazakhstan 8-0 in the bronze medal match to deliver India their sixth medal of Tokyo 2020. Punia’s bronze means that, at six, India have equalled their best-ever medal tally.
