Mumbai lad Narsingh Yadav might have become the only wrestler from India to win a medal at the just-concluded 2015 World Wrestling Championships, but he is far from satisfied with his bronze medal finish, according to fellow wrestler Sandeep Tulsi Yadav.

"When I spoke to him before he got on the flight back to India, he told me, 'I was a gold medal contender at Las Vegas (where the World Championships were held). But I made a few errors which I will rectify when I get back and I will definitely win an Olympics medal in Rio,'" revealed Sandeep, who is Narsingh's roommate at Sports Authority of India's Kandivli campus.
