He might not be competing in the ongoing world championships but London Olympics bronze medallist Yogeshwar Dutt feels that the recent success of Indian grapplers is a result of a change in their mentality.
Yogeshwar said Indian wrestlers are now hungry for success and are not just contend in participating in big events.
“These young wrestlers have performed brilliantly and credit goes to the significant change in their attitude. Now they want to win medals in Olympics, World Championships while earlier they used to get satisfied with just taking part in major tournaments,” Yogeshwar said.
While Amit Kumar (55kg) and Bajrang (60kg) claimed silver and bronze medals respectively, another youngster Narsingh Yadav missed out a bronze late on Wednesday.
He also said the medals bagged by him and Sushil Kumar in the Olympics have played a major role in this promising change.
