Welcome back to the Social Room of WrestlingTV.in, the only place to catch all the inside stories in the world of wrestling. Social Room is a special series that enables you to have a peek in the lives of the wrestler outside the mat.
Indian wrestlers paid their condolences after Deepak Punia’s mother Krishna Devi passed away due to heart attack. Bajrang Punia posted a picture of Deepak and his mother together and said “Deepak is like my younger brother. It is saddening news. I pray that may God give my little brother and his family strength to overcome these tough times”.
Two-time Olympic champion Sushil Kumar and Mahabali Satpal (his teacher) he attended Punia’s mother funeral. His team-mate Ravi Dahiya had also paid his respect via WhatsApp status.

Helen Maroulis-Just my thoughts after weeks of answering questions about the topic: ?
?I am not really frustrated or sad about the Olympics being delayed. I understand everyone is in a unique situation with this and each athlete is entitled to feel how they do about the situation. ?
?
?And it’s not because there’s nothing frustrating about the situation, but because I just made a decision not to be. For me, I miss wrestling but I have become familiar with what it’s like to have to wait to return to the sport.?
?
I know what it’s like to not be able to do what you love because “health comes first”. All the injuries I had these last few years taught me my top priority: ?
?
health. always. comes. first. ?
?
?That was my motto from 2018-now. So it’s still about putting health first, it’s not about just my own anymore. ?
?
?But what a beautiful thing we can rejoice in that we get an opportunity to return to our craft again. The Olympics are delayed—not cancelled—and that’s cause for a celebration for me. All of us are affected by Covid-19, but not everyone will get the chance to postpone their dreams, or businesses. Not everyone has a set date in the future that they can look forward to. And with hope being an anchor for the soul, I am grateful that I have a new date to be hopeful for. For many of us, we can keep our sights set on July 2021. It’s not ideal but at least this one dream isn’t over.?
?
I will continue to choose to rejoice because the time is passing anyways and my attitude is one of the few things I can control right now. ?
?
Also, don’t forget, we are all still in training. Now we’re just training our patience, perspective, and poise. What can we get out of this time now? #sports #olympics #tokyo2021 #tokyo2020 #athletes #perspective #delayed #dreamsgoon #covid-19 #thoughts #encouragement #hopeful #wrestling #olympics
