Bajrang Punia secured a win by fall in his quarterfinal bout against Iran's Morteza Ghiasi on Friday. However, the Indian grappler looked defensive in both his bouts and is yet to unlock his full potential at the Olympics. Shako Bentinidis, Bajrang's personal coach, was near the mat during the bout, screaming instructions on how to beat the Iranian. India's men's wrestling coach Jagmander Singh, too, was evidently unhappy with the way things were going. The two seemed to get into a small disagreement after the bout.
