‘My biggest problem is of injury. I get injured a lot. Right now I am fit but I have had a lot of injuries. Sometimes in the back, sometimes in the knee. So, my aim is to stay fit. I don’t have a world championship medal, I hope to fulfil that in 2014 and win a gold for the country,’ Yogeshwar told a news agency.
Yogeshwar missed the 2013 world championship in Hungary last month due to injury. The 30-year-old wrestler suffered a ligament tear in his right knee in July and was forced out of the world meet.
With Asian Games and Commonwealth Games to be held next year, the grappler said he could skip any one of the events depending on his fitness.
‘My entire year so far has been bad but I have now recovered and started training. Next year there is Asian Games, Commonwealth Games and World Championship, I hope to win medals in that. If I am fit, I will play in all of them or just two of them. I will miss either Asian Games or Commonwealth Games because fitness is important,’ said Yogeswar.
