"For me it was a very close quarter-final match in 2016 (Olympics), so I want to change the scenario now and go deep into the tournament - go to the final and win that medal, so that's the dream I have and definitely I will chase that dream," stated Srikanth, recently ranked fifth on this planet.
"As just now Sindhu said that she has to change the colour (of her medal), I have to get the colour (medal in the Tokyo Olympics 2020). (In the 2016) Olympics, I came in the best (top) 10. I will fight for colour (medal) in the 2020 Olympics and try to do well," stated Lalita.

"In my weight class I have a strong Japanese opponent. The dream which I have to chase is to defeat the Japanese and win the gold. When I started wresting, I used to be advised that Japanese wrestlers are strong.
"We had been status on the same podium in Rio (Olympics) and my dream now is to defeat her (Kaori Icho) and win a (gold) medal for the rustic," she stated.
