Anita Sharma: What Motivated You to Pursue Wrestling as a Career? How did You Get Your Start?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: Thanks to my father's and uncle's shared passion for the sport, wrestling entered my life during the early years of my life. My cousins Vikas, Ravi, and Harsh Vishnoi entered the sport of wrestling and found great success, which increased the appeal of the sport even further within the family.

Wrestling became a part of my consciousness as early as childhood thanks to these experiences, but it was a turning point that really set me on this course. When my cousin won the coveted wrestling gold medal in 2018, it sparked a significant change in me. When he returned victoriously to our home, the joyous atmosphere there inspired me to discover my own path in this field. My father, a source of inspiration and direction, was crucial in encouraging me to choose wrestling as my career.


Anita Sharma: Who are Your Trainers and Gurus, and What Gymnasium (Akhara) Are You Currently Training at?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: I am currently receiving training at Shri Krishna Vyayamshala in Bhilwara. The owners of Shri Krishna Vyayamshala (Gymnasium), Mr. Rajendra Gurjar, and Mr. Tejendra Gurjar, are two of my mentors. Additionally, Mr. Rajesh Dalal and Mr. Pradeep Char are my coaches.


Anita Sharma: Tell Us a Little Bit About Your Daily schedule.

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: I get out of bed every morning at 4:30 and head to Sri Krishna Gymnasium; I get there by 5 am. I train hard inside the walls of Shree Krishna Gymnasium from 5 until 8 in the morning, closely supervised by Coach Sir and Guruji. When I get home, I take it easy for a while and follow the diet prepared by my father to nourish my body.

Between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., I train with my cousin in the wrestling shed built by my father. I take nourishing food after this exhausting, strenuous training session, and then I take a well-earned break. I return to Shri Krishna Gymnasium between 4:30 and 8:00 p.m. for my final training session. I follow my recommended dietary plan when I get home and go to bed early.


Anita Sharma: What is Your Dietary Routine While Training?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: My father is in charge of planning my entire diet from the time I wake up in the morning until the time I go to bed at night. My days begin with a variety of fruits, and during my workouts I consume a liquid diet of dry fruits, dates, raisins, figs, and BCAA supplements. Throughout my training, I take juices and shakes that are fortified with a variety of dry fruits, including pistachios, cashews, almonds, and walnuts. My diet also includes paneer and other healthy foods.


Anita Sharma: What do You Like and Don't Like to Eat?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: I love bhindi curry, and I do not like bitter gourd curry at all.


Anita Sharma: What Wrestling Style and Technique (Moves) Make You Feel Most Comfortable?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: I like Freestyle wrestling most. I like to use Pats and Kalajung moves (techniques) in my matches.


Anita Sharma: What Feelings Did You Experience When You Won the Gold Medal in Jordan for India?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: There are times when you lack the words to fully express your feelings. So, expressing the sentiments I experienced after clinching the gold medal in the U-15 Asian Championship 2023 in Jordan into words is kind of difficult for me. Having won the Gold Medal in Wrestling for my country made me incredibly happy.

 

Anita Sharma: Which Match has been the Hardest for You so far?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: The most difficult match I have so far had was in the second Grand Prix against Savita from Haryana. As a gold medalist in both the Sub-Junior Asian Championship and the World Women's Wrestling Championship, Savita has an impressive record. She won that match with a score of 4:0.


Anita Sharma: What is Your Dream?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: My goal is to continuously enhance my skills in wrestling, aiming to represent India in the Olympics and secure a gold medal in this sport.


Anita Sharma: How do You Handle the Stress of Competing in Front of a Live Audience, and What Techniques do You Use to Stay Focused in Such Circumstances?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: Every time I enter a match, from its beginning to its end, I give it all of my attention. I focus all of my effort during the fight on using strategies that will help me defeat my opponent. I keep an eye out for the defensive strategies needed to prevent my opponent's advances at the same time.


Anita Sharma: What Thoughts Do You Have Just Before the Match?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: I try to put my entire attention on wrestling when the match is about to begin. I constantly remind myself that I must give this fight everything I have in order to win.


Anita Sharma: How do You Find the Motivation to Push Forward When the Outcome of a Match Doesn't go in Your Favor?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: Whenever I encounter an unfavorable result in a match, I recall a saying my father used to tell me: "This is the way of life; today's loss is tomorrow's victory." This simple reminder propels me to start gearing up for what lies ahead.

In the aftermath of a loss, I analyze the game in great detail. I dedicate myself to rigorous practice and training after this evaluation, concentrating on improving my weak points. My father is my main source of inspiration; he is always with me in every wrestling game, whether it is at the state level or the national level.


Anita Sharma: What Measures Do You Take to Prevent Injuries in Wrestling?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: The primary method to prevent injuries in wrestling involves maintaining complete concentration on the sport; otherwise, the risk of sustaining injuries escalates. Every match demands meticulous attention to ensure the safety of both oneself and the opponent, thus minimizing the chances of getting hurt.

Anita Sharma: What Advice Do You Have for Young Children Who Aspire to Enter the World of Wrestling After Being Inspired by You?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: I am still a student of wrestling myself, and I am still learning. But still, if I had to advise someone, I would advise anyone who wants to enter the world of wrestling to start by choosing an experienced training center. The establishment of a well-structured diet plan is essential once they start their wrestling journey because nutrition is so important. A strong dedication to hard work is also essential in addition to this.


Anita Sharma: When will Your Next Match Take Place?

Wrestler Ashwini Vishnoi: The upcoming match schedule has not been released yet.
