Bajrang sacks coach Shako, WFI to finalise replacement
India’s best bet for a wrestling medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Bajrang Punia has parted ways with his Georgian coach Shako Bentinidis. WFI has zeroed in on two replacements. WrestlingTV has reliably learnt that a Russian and a Cuban Olympic champions are in contention to train Bajrang in his pursuit for an Olympic gold next year.
Wrestling Federation of India was extremely disappointed with Bentinidis after Bajrang had to settle for a bronze at the UWW World Wrestling Championship in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, last month for the coach’s wrong calls. The Georgian was also questioned by the WFI for his failure to deliver even as Bajrang managed to earn a Tokyo 2020 berth.
