Zagreb Open wrestling 2023 full schedule

Zagreb Open 2023, the first wrestling ranking series event of the year, will be held in the Croatian capital from February 1. However, top Indian wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia and Ravi Kumar Dahiya, will skip the meet.

Besides the two Tokyo Olympic medallists, top women’s wrestler Vinesh Phogat, world championships medallist Deepak Punia, youngster Anshu Malik, Bajrang’s wife Sangeeta Phogat and Sarita Mor will be some of the high-profile absentees from the Indian contingent in Croatia.

In the absence of some of the country’s top guns, the onus will be on the country’s young guns, led by the experienced Narsingh Yadav, a former Asian champion, to put up a good show in Croatia. Watch live streaming of Zagreb Open wrestling.

Aman will be filling in for Tokyo silver medallist Ravi Dahiya in the men’s 57kg category while Sujeet will be competing in the 65kg, which is Bajrang Punia’s realm. Sushma Shokeen will be India’s entry for the women’s 53kg – Vinesh phogat’s pet category.
