Punia and Dhaiya, both were Tokyo Game Medalists. Bajrang Punia is the first Indian wrestler who won three medals at the World Wrestling Championship.

Bajrang Punia did not stand a chance against his opponent Rohit Kumar. The officials of the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) we’re looking forward to getting his dope test done, but it seemed that Punia could not digest the defeat and he seemed to leave the stadium in a hurry and also did not stay to play the bronze medal contest.
