Indian wrestler and Olympic medalist Yogeshwar Dutt congratulated Team India for their historic run at the Hangzhou Asian Games on Sunday. The Indian contingent finished their 19th Asian Games journey with remarkable success as they won 107 medals to accomplish their set dream goal of “Iss baar 100 paar.”
Yogeshwar attended the ‘Ekal Run 2023,’ a marathon organized by the youth wing of Ekal Abhi, where he stated that Indian athletes would try to win at least 15 medals in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
“Our players have created history at the Asian Games. This is the first time we have crossed the 100-medal mark. We got 70 medals in the previous Asian Games, and this year we got 107 medals. Our target is to win more than 15 medals in the Olympics this time and fulfill the dreams of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Yogeshwar said on Sunday.
India had a disappointing journey on the wrestling front. Deepak Punia was the only wrestler to make it to the final match, winning a silver medal in the men’s 86kg freestyle wrestling division at the Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou on Saturday.
