The Austin meet will be followed by a clash against USA’s Olympic hopeful Zain Retherford on the 22nd, a one-off event. Bajrang believes the two back-to-back events, part of the ongoing month-long training stint in the USA, would be a better way to shake off the lockdown blues than the World Cup in Belgrade.
“The tournament in Belgrade is good as well. But top wrestling nations such as USA, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Japan, even Georgia and Cuba, aren’t competing,” says Bajrang. “I am already part of a training camp here and have good meets lined up. The training partners are exactly what I needed as well.”
