Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Singh on Saturday blamed wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik for suspension of the federation ahead of big events like the Asian Games, World Wrestling Championships and 2024 Paris Olympics.
"In the previous world championship (U-20 world wrestling championship) I had won a medal but this time two other wrestlers also won the medal, I am happier about that," Antim told ANI.
Sagar Jaglan claimed a silver medal in FS 79kg category, while India so far have won 7 medals including two golds. Priya Malik won the gold in the 76 kg category and Mohit Kumar won the medal 61 kg freestyle category.
The achievement of this Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) athlete has now given India two golds at the ongoing championships, which has only happened for the second time ever. The last time India did so was back in 2001.
Mohit Kumar created history after winning the U20 World Wrestling Championships. He defeated Eldar Akhmadudinov 9-8 in a 61 kg freestyle event in Jordan
