New Delhi: Indian wrestler Anshu Malik, who has qualfied for the Paris Olympics in women’s 57kg weight category, has reportedly been advised a two-week rest following a strain she sustained on her left shoulder during a training session.

The 22-year-old secured a Paris 2024 quota in the women’s 57 kg freestyle category from the Asian wrestling Olympic Qualifiers in April this year. She also bagged a silver medal at the Budapest Ranking Series in June.

The medical report indicated that the wrestler is recovering well and has begun 30-minute brisk walks. However, the advised two-week rest remains a concern. IANS
