No way.. we had 4 world champions going into the last Olympics. Bajrang himself was one. We were one ~2012.. but by 2020 we were a power. Now it looks like we have regressed tremendously

lol no. no one was a wrold champion. india has has only one world championship gold ever - sushil kumar in 2010.

 

our wrestling is solid but its never been more than bronze/occasional silver level at the highest level.

Ok sorry.. Deepak Punia and Bajrang were both silver medalists at the Worlds.. not gold medalists. That is still pretty awesome though

Bajrang destroyed in Bronze medal match 10-0

 

:facepalm:

 



 

 

Bajrang totally undercooked. Maybe not the right person anymore. He was a great athlete - one of India's greatest wrestlers - but his time looks like its done. Hope he becomes a mentor to the next gen.

They do look great. The women should first of all learn from them. Basics look supreme. Fitness is supreme. 

 

Only thing they are missing IMO is an air of invincibility that somehow the Aussie and even the Belgian team now projects.
