Bajrang silences doubters with bronzeBajrang silences doubters with bronze: The problem with focusing on a warrior’s Achilles’ heel (or Bajrang Punia’s ankle, as Puerto Rican Sebastian Rivera would confirm at some point in the future). Bajrang won a bronze medal, his third at the World Championships, after coming back from a 0-6 deficit (he also has a silver). In the game, Rivera continued aiming for the same ankle from the same angle. Within seconds, Rivera had tacked on the first points of the game (ankle nibble, same every time). But with only 24 seconds left, Bajrang countered with a takedown of his own, and a successful challenge gave him an 11-9 advantage.
