Vinesh Phogat is among a trio of returning champs in women's wrestling, Bajrang Punia is one of the biggest names in action on men's side.

There’s no secret that Oborududu headlines the 68kg women’s field. Her pair of losses came at the hands of Jacarra WINCHESTER (USA) and Ekaterina ISAKOVA (RWF). At 57kg, there are three tier one wrestlers who should vie for the gold medal. India’s first-ever three-time world medalist will likely have to get past the 12-man bracket’s lone returning CWG medalist in Amas Daniel (NGR). It’ll be Daniel’s fourth straight appearance wrestling at the CWG, where he’s finished with two bronze medals and had a fourth-place finish in 2010. He’s won golds at the Yasar Dogu Ranking Series event and Asian championship and settled for Dan Kolov silver after falling to Zelimkhan ABAKAROV (ALB), 7-1, in the gold-medal match. The stacked entry list includes 14 returning medalists – five of which are looking for back-to-back Commonwealth Games golds.

We have to live in the present and not think about winning a medal in the future. The Olympics is the biggest platform and there is a lot of pressure there. There is the mental pressure of how to handle things after the Olympic medal. She won, then she got injured and then made a comeback. She got injured again and then again made a comeback. I realised I need to work a lot on my speed and mat work.At the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, you won a gold medal. I believe each and every wrestler is capable of returning with a medal around his or her neck. We have high hopes from Vinesh. We are confident that Vinesh will get an Olympic medal for the Phogat family. When I got the chance in the Nationals, I gave my best and won a silver medal. She is in Birmingham currently. With the Indian wrestlers hitting the mats at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Friday onwards, Geeta, who is eyeing an international comeback after having her first child, is confident India will win the highest number of wrestling medals at the Games this time.
