Visa glitch forces Sushil to miss out on training in Belarus

Wrestler Sushil Kumar will have to make do with training alone in India while his teammates fly to Belarus because he only has a single-entry visa to the country. A DNA report says that India’s flag-bearer at the London Olympics came to know about the visa glitch only on his return from America where he was training.

He will then leave for Belarus after the opening ceremony to join the rest of the grapplers. Wrestling Federation of India secretary Raj Singh said that this little change in plan will not affect Sushil’s training. “Sushil has not missed a single training session here too. He is going through a rigorous schedule. There should be no worry about his preparation. He will join his teammates in Belarus after performing his national duty,” Singh was quoted as saying in DNA. The Indian wrestling team is expected to arrive in London on 5 August.
