Wrestling at the 2022 Commonwealth Games!!!
Vinesh Phogat and sakshi Malik, who are struggling with poor form, will have a golden opportunity to regain their lost momentum in the Commonwealth Games. Apart from Vinesh and sakshi, these games are also important for Bajrang Punia who suffered a knee injury before the tokyo olympics, which affected his performance. Wrestlers from countries like Iran, Russia, japan and kazakhstan participate in the Commonwealth Games, which are also considered strong.
Challenge from these wrestlers
Although wrestlers from canada and nigeria can also challenge indian wrestlers. Bajrang's strength is his stamina. Recently, after getting a medical checkup, confidence has returned in him. On the other hand, Vinesh, who was in excellent form ahead of the tokyo olympics, could not win a medal. The reason for her poor form is that she is not able to beat even her compatriot wrestlers. The Commonwealth Games could bring back their confidence as there is not much time left in the paris olympics 2024.
Tokyo olympics silver medalist ravi Dahiya is in terrific form and the challenge ahead of him in the Commonwealth Games is going to be tough.
