Wrestler Pooja Dhanda has been trying to stay fit at her home in Hisar for four months now. However, she has admitted that the full-time training cannot be replicated at home.
The 26-year-old wrestler stated that she managed to get a mat at home in March. She also has a local wrestler staying with her, even though he resides close by. Although she is trying to stay fit, she is also doing everything to ensure her safety.
She also stated that is she waiting for the Wrestling Federation of India or SAI to spell out future plans.
Pooja was injured and in rehabilitation for almost the whole of 2019. She missed the 2019 Worlds due to injuries. The 18-year-old Anshu Malik defeated her in the 57kg trials for the Asian Qualifiers. She was out of the reckoning for the Tokyo Olympics.
The WFI indicated that there would be fresh trials in 2021. This means that Pooja has another chance to make the cut for the Tokyo Olympics. However, next year will have a lot of new entries which would increase the competition. Moreover, her weight category is already one of the most crowded ones.
