Three-time Worlds medallist and Olympics bronze medallist Bajrang Punia (65kg) stayed in the quest for another medal in the World wrestling championships in Belgrade on Saturday.
Beginning his journey from the pre-quarterfinals, Bajrang beat two-time Worlds bronze medallist Cuban Alejandro Valdes 5-4 despite picking up an injury (on the top of his head) during the bout.
“Bajrang’s injury happened when heads of the two wrestlers collided,” said coach Sujeet Maan.
