India`s top wrestler Bajrang Punia is struggling to secure services of a dedicated physio, who would help him recover fast from his niggles and expedite his recovery. The Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist has knocked on the doors of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), sports NGO JSW and Sports Authority of India (SAI) in the last few months but he is still waiting to hear from the authorities.
Bajrang says he would not have missed two events, including one ranking series, last month if he had a dedicated physiotherapist attached with him. At the beginning of the national camp in Sonepat, he developed strain in his left knee during training towards January-end and it eventually forced him to miss Yasar Dogu Ranking Series event in Turkey. He spent about two weeks in Iran with coach Sujeet Mann but not having a physio by his side further delayed his recovery.
