00:00Yogeshwar, if we look at the contingent of the Indian team, there are 5 girls and 1 boy.
00:07How do you see this contingent? How much strength are you putting in?
00:11If you talk about girls, it is a very happy thing.
00:16For the first time, 5 women wrestlers have qualified.
00:19Among the boys, only one wrestler has qualified, Aman Sharawat.
00:24And I hope he will win a medal for the country.
00:27We also expect two girls to win medals.
00:30It will depend on their strength.
00:33We have won medals in all four Olympics.
00:37In 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020.
00:40So I believe that this time too, we will win medals for the country.
00:45If we talk about the big names, it seems a little less of experience.
00:52If we leave Ganesh, the rest of the athletes will play their Olympics for the first time.
00:58When there is a big event, even though there are big tournaments,
01:02World Championships, Antil, Kritika have played.
01:06So the pressure of the Olympics, does a big player in the team,
01:13who is able to explain in a better way, think about it like a new map?
01:19See, experience is a different thing. Experience is useful.
01:23But if you see that there are junior wrestlers here,
01:28you can give them less experience.
01:30But the Olympic pressure on many players is different for everyone.
01:37If you play a tournament or a championship, the pressure is different.
01:41But the Olympic pressure is different and it is a very heavy pressure.
01:45Once in four years, the Olympics came and everyone wanted to win the Olympic medal.
01:50Everyone dreams of winning the Olympic medal.
01:52I have played four Olympics, so there is a different kind of pressure on me in every Olympic.
01:56So I will tell all the wrestlers that the pressure is on everyone.
02:02There are foreign wrestlers who are players and there will be pressure on them too.
02:05So when you go to the bout during the competition, do not take pressure at all.
02:10Think about wrestling and do not worry.
02:14Think about how you want to wrestle with which wrestlers.
02:17So it is very important to think.
02:19Do not worry, we will not be able to give you 100 percent.
02:23When there are big tournaments,
02:26our players used to get a little scared with foreign names,
02:30with athletes, wrestlers.
02:34As you said, we have won four Olympic medals.
02:39You are a wrestler, you are Bajrang.
02:42So has that fear left the minds of our wrestlers?
02:46Look, the fear of Russians and Iranians is not there anymore.
02:49Because our wrestlers have defeated all the wrestlers of the country.
02:52Wrestling has happened with all of them.
02:54So that thing is no longer there.
02:56Now it is about which wrestler you want to wrestle with and how you want to win the medal.
03:01Now our wrestlers go to win medals.
03:04And that's why they win medals.
03:06Last question.
03:07For the Indian contingent of 170 athletes,
03:10what is your message to the former Olympian medal winner?
03:15All the players of our country,
03:18I wish them all the best.
03:21The whole country is with our players.
03:23We will pray to God that they win as many medals as possible.
03:28Last time we won 7 medals.
03:30We hope to win more than 10 medals.
03:32And before the players leave, the Prime Minister himself spoke to the players.
03:37And all the players are the pride of the country.
03:41And it is a big deal to play for the country in the Olympics.
03:44So I would like to say to all the players that without any pressure,
03:46I will pray for the whole country.
03:48I will bless them.
03:49I will bless the people of the country.
03:50Our players are with us.
03:52And give your 100 percent.
03:55Give 100 percent.
03:56And win medals for the country.
03:57Don't miss out.
