Bajrang Punia cut short his trip in Turkey, returns back to India, take a look why ?

It can’t get more bizarre than this. India’s biggest medal winning hope for Tokyo 2020 Bajrang Punia has cut short his training trip in Turkey and has returned back to India. 

Bajrang Punia left for Turkey on 3-week training trip on 29th Dec and was also supposed to compete at Yasar Dogu international beginning on Friday this week. But he decided to cut short his trip and has returned to India on 4th Dec only after 4 days in Turkey

WrestlingTV has learnt from its sources that Bajrang’s coach Shako Bentinidis could not procure his visa to travel to Turkey which led to Punia returning back to India. Bajrang had left for Turkey without his coach expecting that after getting his visas processed Shako will join him in Turkey. 

But the delays in Visa processing led to frustrated Bajrang returning back to India as it was getting difficult for him to manage things on his own in Turkey.

India’s star grappler Bajrang Punia had decided to make Turkey his base for 3 weeks in order to prepare for the 2020 season. The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) had approved Punia’s proposal to train in Turkey along with his coach Shako Bentinidis.

 The Asian Games 2018 gold medallist Indian was also supposed to compete at Yasar Dogu international event in Turkey along with fellow wrestler Jitender. From Turkey itself, Punia was scheduled to fly to Rome for the ranking series event starting on 15th January.

The Wrestling Battle: Sadulaev vs Snyder, the wrestling rivalry of the decade

Image
Wrestling as a sport has been part of the Olympics since ancient times. Be it the mythical figure Hercules or the modern time “experiment” Aleksandr Karelin, it has produced many greats from various parts of the world. But never has the race for wrestling dominance been so intense as between the US’  Kyle Snyder  and  Sadulaev.  The duo has been at the helm of the sport for long enough to be termed as one of the greatest of all times. But the fact that they both wrestle in the 97kg freestyle has also engaged them into some of the best wrestling battles. Sadulaev: The Russian Tank The Russian wrestler has been regarded as the best freestyle wrestler in the world. He came into the spotlight in 2014 after winning the 86kg world championships at the tender age of 18. His agility and speed despite muscle mass had shocked the world further.

Meet Stepan Maryanyan, the Greco-Roman champion on mat and champion outside as well

Image
Stepan Maryanyan from Russia has been one of the most dominant Greco-Roman wrestlers world over. Following his gold medal at the 2018 World Wrestling Championships, the Greco-Roman grappler was victorious in the 2019 European Championships, European Games and the prestigious Dan Kolov event. Stepan recently won a silver medal at the 2019 world championship in Nur-Sultan in 63kg weight category. But it wasn’t always so straight forward for the mercurial Russian. Before 2018, his career was marked by two dominant traits: Creative flair, and inconsistency. His explosive flips and vice-like clamp on opponents were often undone by basic errors, undoubtedly caused by matters in his personal life particularly death of his father. The champion from Dinskaya hasn’t forgotten his days of struggle as kid. 28 year old Maryanyan every year organizes a tournament for children in his native village of Dinskaya in the Krasnodar district. In the 3rd edition of the event about 350 wrestlers o...
