Indian wrestler Deepak Punia, who tested positive for Covid-19 in the national camp, has been discharged from the hospital and advised home quarantine. It was reported last week that Deepak, along with Navin and Krishan, tested positive for the deadly virus while serving their quarantine period.

India's top wrestler, Vinesh Phogat, who had earlier detected positive for Covid-19, has been tested negative twice as per the recent reports. Phogat, a former Asian Games medallist in the 2018 Jakarta edition, is the only Indian woman to have qualified for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics so far.

Three Indian wrestlers bagged three Greco-Roman bronze medals on Day 2 of the Asian Wrestling Championship at the KD Jadhav Hall in Delhi on February 19. Ashu, Aditya Kundu and Hardeep are the three wrestlers who got the medal for India, in 67, 72 and 97 kg category respectively for the country.

Ritu Phogat, who is set to make her maiden appearance in the MMA circuit in the ‘Age of Dragon’ event, hopes that the sport will grow in India after people start watching her matches. She admits that watching a lot of videos on YouTube caught her attention and made her think about a career change.
