Analysing India’s Men’s Wrestling contingent at Rio 2016

JSW

Ravinder Khatri (85 kg)

The other Greco-Roman wrestler representing India at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil will be Ravinder Khatri, in the 85 kg weight category.

Having had to overcome a lot of financial difficulties to make it thus far, the grappler qualified for Rio 2016 after finishing 3rd at the Asian Olympic qualifiers. With only the top two making it to Brazil, it looked like his chance had gone.

However, he qualified after the silver medallist was found guilty of using a banned substance, disqualifying him immediately. Khatri will be looking to use this bit of fortune to his advantage as he goes all-out against his opponents in Rio.

Having missed qualifying for London 2012 by just two points, it is clear to say that he understands how fine the margins are, and will look to grab this opportunity with both hands as he looks to get India a medal.
