The freestyle wrestler was one of India's few gold medal hopes in Rio and the entire nation mourned as she lay on the mat writhing in pain during her bout against China's Sun Yanan.Still rankled by the nightmare, the 25-year-old has secured herself another shot at Olympic glory at next year's Tokyo Games after winning a bronze medal at the recent world championships at Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
Having added a world championship medal to her collection, the twice Commonwealth Games gold medallist believes Tokyo will be her best chance of Olympic success."After the injury I am going back to the same stage, so it is big for me," she said by phone."Every athlete has a peak time, I think I am at my peak right now. I have to take advantage of this phase and achieve the best that I can.
This time, however, she has confirmed her berth well in advance which will allow her to focus solely on Tokyo.She especially needed to free herself of qualification worries having moved up to the 53 kilogram class after winning her Commonwealth and Asian Games medals in the 50kg. "Next one year I will concentrate on the top opponents in my category and train to beat them in Tokyo."
