Bajrang Punia’s Tokyo Olympic preparations now depend on UWW’s decision on World Championship

By   - 07/11/2020

Indian wrestler Bajrang Punia is currently attending the national camp in Sonepat. However, unlike his camaraderie in the camp, the 65kg Tokyo Olympic-bound has no partner to train with. Bajrang’s coach Shako Bentinidis believes, lack of same weight category partners is affecting 26-year-old’s training as he is not able to practice techniques with them. medal. “Bajrang partner is not enough because all are big weights. Hence, it is hard for him to work on technique,” Shako told WrestlingTV, adding this is affecting his training and chances of an Olympic medal. His current training partners are Jitender, Gaurav Baliyan and Narsingh Yadav.

Bajrang and Shako are both eyeing the world Championship in December to test their skills. They are waiting for the final call on it by United World Wrestling (UWW) before making a road map for Tokyo. “Bajrang is getting married on November 25. After it we have the world championship. If UWW decides to go ahead with the plan, then we will have to stay here (India) and train,” he told WrestlingTV. “But if they cancel the event, then we must go out. In all likeability, we will go to the US if there is no world championship”.

UWW is planning for the world championship in Serbia from December 12-20. However, a final call is yet to be taken by the world body. An executive meeting was scheduled for November 6 to discuss on the matter, but it later got rescheduled after USA and Japan pulled out its participation. On Friday, Cuba followed suit and was the third country to do so.

However, uncertainty around the world championship has Shako worried as he believes that it is high time Bajrang begins training with better wrestlers so that he can peak before the Olympics arrive. “There is no training plan as of now. We are allowed to do mat training only once. We are trying to do everything in a small amount. Sometimes it is the gym, other times it is speed training”.

“Everyday training with the same partner, it is a little difficult for Bajrang. We have to go outside and train with better wrestlers and compete in one or two competitions, otherwise it will be difficult to reach peak by Olympics,” he added.
