India's freestyle grappler Sushil Kumar will head to Georgia for a 10 -day training ahead of the Asian Games in Indonesia. "I have been World and Asian champion but not in the Asian Games. So I am working very hard to achieve it," remarked the ace grappler from Delhi who had bagged a bronze medal in the 2006 Doha Asian Games. The 35-year-old former world 66 kg champion will contest in the 74 kg class at the Asian Games, after missing the last two continental Games at Guangzhou and Incheon.
In the Beijing Olympic Games of 2008 Sushil Kumar won the bronze medal in the 66 kg weight category, only the second Indian to do so in 56 years. Refuting reports to the contrary Sushil said his training schedule in Georgia was known to all. He conceded that returning to competitions was not an easy task in a sport like wrestling. “It's a very difficult task in something like wrestling in which you need power and have to know the right time to attack. (But) I was very positive in these four years," he added.
