Sujeet Kalkal Reflects on 65kg Wrestling Dominance and Upcoming Asian Games Challenge

Indian wrestler Sujeet Kalkal has maintained dominance in the 65kg category, winning gold in every competition since the U23 Asian Championship in June 2025, except the Senior World Championship. He credits consistency and self-analysis over idolizing others, though he respects veterans like Yogeshwar Dutt and Bajrang Punia. Sujeet emphasizes the unpredictability of sport and acknowledges ongoing efforts to improve his offensive skills and endurance ahead of the Asian Games, which he sees as a key test against top competitors from Iran and Japan.
