Ravi Dahiya is one of the best hopes for a Tokyo Olympics medal. The 2019 world championships bronze medallist is currently under quarantine at the national camp in Sonepat. And while alone in his room, he has got enough time to introspect and set his future goals. In a cryptic Instagram post, the 22-year-old posted a monochrome picture of himself and wrote: “I look at you & see rest of my life in front of my eyes”. Seeing the picture and the caption it is easy to do the maths of what the young wrestler is talking about.
Dahiya after his stellar performance at the Nur-Sultan worlds, he confirmed the Olympics quota for India in 57kg men’s freestyle. Currently, at the camp, he will be going back home to take his exams.
In an interview with IANS, he said, “My exams are coming up and I have taken leave for that. When I am finished with my BA final year exams, I will go back to the SAI centre for the camp,” Dahiya told IANS. “The camp is very important for all of us but I have to take the exams, that’s why I can’t join right now.”
Dahiya refused to answer any further questions. The 23-year-old wrestler hails from the Nahri village in Sonipat district and has been training with Deepak Punia and Sushil Kumar at the Chhatrasal stadium since January.
