Olympic bronze medallist wrestler Sakshi Malik today credited Pro Wrestling League for helping her improve her performance and said that she was waiting eagerly for the second season to be held in December.
"My performance was improved after the PWL, especially in the Olympics and other major tournaments. The league has been a blessing for Indian wrestlers," Sakshi said.
Sakshi, however, did not participate in the National Championships.
The PWL will be held in eight cities from December 15.
Sakshi's fiance Satyawart Kadian, a national champion in men's 97kg category, said PWL gave Indian wrestlers a platform to compete with Olympic Games and World Championships medallists.
Sandeep Tomar, a gold medalist in the 57kg category, said experience of PWL was the best for him.
