Ravinder Kumar after winning bronze medal in the 60 kilogram category
“I had a tough draw to start with. I was fighting the 2006 Asian Games gold medalist Sheng Jiang (eventual champion) in the second round itself, who I lost to at the same stage in Doha. I had three tough bouts but I still gave it all in the bronze medal bout. Standard of Asian wrestling is of the same level as Olympics. We have the World Championship in Moscow in September, the Commonwealth Games in October and the Asian Games in November, and I am confident of winning gold in these tournaments.”

“I just had a bad day. I don’t think Indian wrestlers are behind as compared to the Iranians or the Chinese. We are continuously trying to improve our skills to be able to do well in the Commonwealth Games.”
