Besides Narsingh and Yogeshwar, Sandeep Tomar (57kg freestyle) also has a chance of bagging a medal here as the Asia champion has not returned from an international tournament without a medal in the recent past. Although with a field boasting of world's gold medallist and london silver medallist Vladimer Khinchegashvili and Iran's Hassan Rahimi, Tomar will be up against some stiff challenge.
Tomar secured an Olympic quota berth with a bronze-medal finish in the 1st World Olympic Qualifying tournament in Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. Infact Sandeep has clinched a medal in every international tournament that he has participated in outside India so far. Tomar has won four gold, one silver and four bronze medals in the nine competitions he has participated so far. So he would be looking to continue that streak.
