PT Usha has responded to concerns about wrestler Amit Panghal and his support personnel encountering visa problems for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Panghal’s instructor, Bhagat Singh, physiotherapist Heera, sparring partner Vikas, and masseuse Nisha are still awaiting the issuance of their visas.
Nevertheless, there is optimism for finding a solution since PT Usha has diligently examined the issue. Panghal’s father has contacted the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) over the problem, as she observed. Usha intends to elevate the matter to the French embassy in order to secure the required visas. She said:
The Paris Olympics will start on July 26, 2024, and the Indian contingent is anticipated to have a great performance this summer.
