Jan 25 (Reuters) - Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has said he is confident his wrestlers can bring home at least four medals from the Tokyo Olympics despite the preparations being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Four Indian wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, Ravi Kumar Dahiya and Deepak Punia have booked their spots for the Tokyo Games, which are due to open on July 23 after being postponed for a year because of the coronavirus.
The Indian wrestling contingent were hit with a doping scandal ahead of the 2016 Rio Games, which resulted in freestyle medal contender Narsingh Pancham Yadav being disqualified just days before his scheduled opening bout.
