The matman is determined to showcase his skills in the Tokyo Olympics. He started his training in April at his flat in Apex Green Apartments, Sonepat. Unfortunately, Bajrang along with the other athletes have been barred from training in the National camps due to the coronavirus.

Punia, who had an injury-plagued last year, had been struggling to compete on the mat. However, he has managed to win a silver medal at the World Wrestling Championships at Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan. Punia defeated North Korea’s Jong Son 8-2 in 65 KG freestyle wrestling category in the quarterfinal bout and settled for a silver medal in the end, and also qualified for the Tokyo Olympics. 

Other wrestlers who have also qualified for the Tokyo Olympics are Vinesh Phogat (58 KG Freestyle), Ravi Kumar Dahiya (Men’s 57 Kg Freestyle) and Deepak Punia (Men’s 86 Kg Freestyle).
