Last 4 days of Rio Olympics 2016- 4 Indian Athletes to watch out for
3) Narsingh Yadav
Event: Men’s freestyle 74 kilogram
Why him?
Narsingh has been really successful in the last two years. In the latest Wrestling World Championship 2015, he was the gold medallist in his category.
In the run-up to Rio 2016, Narsingh was caught in a couple of controversies and has gotten away from both. The first issue was about representing India in Rio Olympics raised by the two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar, but the court dismissed the plea saying Narsingh has better credentials. In the doping scandal, he was acquitted at the end as it was assumed to be a one-off incident. All these controversies would’ve made him a wounded tiger hungry to win a medal and prove a point to the world.
Major Challenge:
WADA has rekindled his doping charges and are investigating on the same. It is possible that they ban him from participating in Rio 2016 even before even he enters the arena.
