Olympic bronze medalist wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt shared his excitement regarding the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) organizing selection trials for the upcoming Senior Asian Wrestling Championships, set to take place in Amman, Jordan, later this month.

Dutt expressed his satisfaction with the WFI regaining oversight of wrestling in India following the government’s decision to lift its suspension. He remarked on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to bring the 2036 Olympics to India, emphasizing the immense pride it would bring if the country were to host the games.


“I want to extend my gratitude to the government for lifting the ban on the WFI, thereby allowing it to govern wrestling in the country again. After a two-year hiatus, we are now conducting selection trials to form the team for the Asian Championships,” he stated to IANS during the trials held at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on Saturday.

Dutt also expressed enthusiasm over the promising performances of junior wrestlers and the return of seasoned athletes such as Deepak Punia, Antim Panghal, Ritika, and Sumit.

After observing the trials, Yogeshwar Dutt, who secured a bronze in the 60kg category at the London Olympic Games in 2012, conveyed his confidence that Indian wrestlers would excel at the Senior Asian Wrestling Championship.

He further expressed optimism that the performance levels would return to their former heights, thanks in part to the boost in morale provided by the revival of selection trials after a two-year gap.

Dutt anticipates that India will shine in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles 2028. “I firmly believe that wrestling is poised to reclaim its historic glory, and we will see our wrestlers earn gold medals in the 2028 Olympic Games. We have achieved bronze and silver, but now it’s time to aim higher,” he affirmed.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi is making concerted efforts for the 2036 Olympics, and if the games are held in India, it will be an incredible honor for our nation. This will be a pivotal moment for wrestlers who have dedicated 10-12 years in preparation; it’s their chance to showcase their full potential,” he added.

Published

on

Sports: Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has once again grabbed global attention with his massive earnings. Reports suggest that Ronaldo earns around Rs.30 crore from just one 90-minute football match.

The 41-year-old Portuguese star is currently playing for a club in Saudi Arabia. Under his contract, he reportedly earns around Rs.1,700 crore per year. Based on an average of 55 matches a year for both club and country, Ronaldo earns nearly Rs.30 crore for every game he plays.

This means that in just 90 minutes on the football field, Ronaldo earns an amount that is equal to the annual salary expenses of many companies.

Ronaldo’s total net worth is estimated to be more than ₹10,000 crore. He has built this enormous wealth through a football career that has lasted more than two decades. His income also comes from endorsement deals, brand promotions, business investments, and social media activities.

The scale of Ronaldo’s earnings becomes even more striking when compared to an average Indian employee. A person earning Rs.12 lakh per year would need around 2,500 years of work to earn the Rs.30 crore that Ronaldo makes from a single match.
