'Remove my brace': Bajrang told physio before winning bronze

Bajrang went into his shell for a while after the semifinal defeat, before coming to terms with the fact that he had to compete with the injury. The chance to win gold had gone. But bronze was still a possibility. On match-day, he told his physio, "Take the brace off, enough." And he went on to beat Kazakhstan's Daulet Niyazbekov to finish on the podium with a bronze in his Olympic debut.
