With their eyes firmly trained on winning medals, Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik and Asian champion Bajrang Punia will spearhead the Indian challenge at the World Wrestling Championships, starting in Paris tomorrow. All eyes would be on Rio Games bronze-winner in 58kg, Sakshi, who bagged a silver medal at the Asian Championship in May after climbing up a division to 60kg category. Having qualified in the same category for this championships, Sakshi will take on the mat on Thursday. Vinesh Phogat, another silver medallist at the Asian Championship, will also fancy her chances in women's 48kg. Meanwhile, whio had won bronze in the 2013 Budapest edition, in 60kg freestyle, has now climbed up a division to 65kg. Although he ensured a berth at the World Championship just about 10 days ago, Bajrang proved far superior when he thrashed Rahul Mann 10-0 at a special selection trial in Paris.Besides Bajrang, India will pin hopes on Olympian Sandeep Tomar in 57kg as he has performed consistently in the last couple of years. Among other freestyle wrestlers, Amit Dhankar (70kg), Praveen Rana (74kg) and Satywart Kadiyan (97kg), who will be conferred with the Arjuna Award after this championships, are also expected to bring in laurels for the country. The Greco-Roman contest will take place on the first two days of the competition and India will be fielding an eight- member team. Although Greco-Roman has not been India's strong point, the country would be hoping for a couple of them to spring a surprise or two.
