After young teen golfer Aditi Ashok’s crashed out of the Rio Olympics 2016 on day 15, all of India’s hopes now lie with our lone standing Olympic participant, Yogeshwar Dutt who will be competing in the Men’s 65 kg freestyle wrestling category on August 21. India already has two medals in the Rio Olympics, both from Women. First, it was Sakshi Malik who brought home the Bronze medal in the Women’s 58 kg wrestling category. Then, in a match that had the whole country cheering, PV Sindhu took on Spain’s Carolina Marin in the final of the Women’s Singles Badminton event. She lost but became the first Indian Badminton player to win silver in the Olympics. And now, on the very last day of the Rio Olympics 2016, all eyes will be on wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt to get India one last medal before the campaign comes to an end.

Fondly called ‘Yogi’, Yogeshwar Dutt had won the Bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. He was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government in India in 2013. In 2014, he won the Gold Medal at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. With such a history, Yogeshwar Dutt looks like the right person to pin our hopes on. However, it is worth noting that 33-year old Yogeshwar Dutt has been injured quite often in the past. He has been in between surgeries for a while keeping him out of action for the most part of three years. In fact, he has had surgeries in both of his knees. With this, it will be a challenge for Dutt to bring India a medal but his past records should lend him all the confidence he needs.

Another thing that will be playing on Dutt’s mind is the Narsingh Yadav episode. Yadav, who was recently banned by Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) for flunking a dope test after WADA challenged the clean chit given to him by NADA, was evicted from the Olympics village where he was staying with Yogeshwar Dutt and the rest of the team. Yogi has always voiced his support for Yadav and all the action has taken place right in front of him. Dutt has had his share of trouble getting into the Olympics 2016 due to his injuries and now that he has made it, pressure on him must be very high to get India a medal on the final day. This is Yogeshwar Dutt’s fourth and probably last Olympics,and he will be facing the world champion Frank Chamizo of Italy and Russia’s Soslan Ramonov in his wrestling event on Sunday. He will want to be remembered for a medal – possibly Gold! Also Read - Bajrang Punia Believes Coronavirus-forced Break Has Made it Challenging For Wrestlers Who Are Yet to Qualify For Tokyo Olympics
