The world championship was scheduled to be held at Budapest Hungry. Trials for the Indian contingent among men and women were to be held at the wrestling stadium facility by SAI ( sports authority of india ) at Bahal Gadh Sonipat. I decided to cover the occasion and reached Bahalgadh. There I met coach Vikram Kumar Sonkar and along with him I reached at the mat. All things were in place and the wrestlers were warming up. Among them were Rajneesh, Duggi, Sumit, Parveen Rana, Nitin, Sandeep, Pawa, Raviner, Anil, Mandeep, Amit Kumar, Arun, Pradeep, Bajrang, Sandeep, Narsingh Yadav, Rahul, Satyvart, Hitender, Navjeet, krishan, Hitesh, Rajinder, Manoj, Monu, Rajbeer, Prabhupal, Manoj, anil, Yashpal, Sunil, MOhd. Rafeek, sanjay yadav, arun and in women were Phogat sisters geeta, vinesh, anshu tomar, jyoti lohia, nirmla, navjot, Manu, Geetika Jakhad, Indu chowdhry, kamlesh. The president of Indian wrestling association and Member of Parliament sh Brajbhooshan ji with general secretary Raj singh ji, GS Mander ji and other officials as well as mat referee, chairman and judges were all present. There were finest of the matches played among the wrestlers. Bajrang won all the matches and in the final he fought a superb match with Rajneesh. Bajrang was able to secure his birth for the world championship. He did not failed there either and won a bronze. Like wise Amit kumar impressed the gathering with all his superb capabilities. The competition was very tough in his weight category and all the best wrestlers were competing. He fought well with every opponent and secured his birth. He didn’t failed there at the world championship and won a Silver Medal. Narsingh Yadav also showed superb skills winning over every body he reached into finals and fought with the best wrestler and won. His bouts with opponents at the world championship turned best. He lost to an American wrestlers who was the best in his weight category with a narrow margin. Women also showed good show of strength and techniques and at the world championship too. The main thing about the championship that Indian put a great show there and most of them stood either 6th 7th or 8th apart from the medal winning wrestlers. The first ever bronze medal in the greeco roman category by sandeep was a promising future of the greeco roman sports here in india. All these wrestlers proved that Indian wrestling has a bright future.
