Bajrang’s Asian Championship silver medal raises several red flags FinalLast MonthBajrang PuniaRehabAsian Championship Medal Bajrang Punia settled for a silver, but there’s barely any silver lining to his Asian Championship medal. The only consolation, if any, was that the Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist reached the final in his first international competition since the Games last year. In that sense, Bajrang’s performance was similar in nature to the one at last month’s selection trials for the continental championship, where he was far from convincing in his narrow win over Rohit Singh in the final. But largely, it can be attributed to mismanagement on the part of everyone involved in managing the wrestler. However, after the selection trials last month, he claimed he was undergoing rehab, without a full-time physiotherapist who could monitor his rehab.
