Lockdown: Ravi Dahiya's life revolves around training

The Hindu  

For Ravi Dahiya, whose life revolves around wrestling, Chhatrasal Stadium in Delhi is home away from home. In fact, Dahiya spends most part of the year in the precincts of Chhatrasal and visits his home very rarely — perhaps once in a year, during Diwali. So, when the Government gave a call for self-isolation at home to fight coronavirus, Dahiya — who shifted from his village in Sonepat district of Haryana to Chhatrasal at the age of 10 — did not have to think twice. I can go home later on after the Olympics,” said the World championships bronze medallist and the Asian champion in men’s 57kg weight class.
