Taking pressure  would not help me win and rather it would pull my performance down. If I  have to win, it would be by the way how I perform on a given day. I do  not fear anything and I have nothing to lose. Because even if I come  back without a medal, I still can assure everyone that I would give my  best shot,\u201d said Amit during the send-off function of Indian Wrestling  Contingent to the Olympics.<br \/>\n<br \/>The 19 year old wrestler said that  only thing that he knows ahead of Olympics is that he is going to be at  his best and medals if they have to come they would. \u201cIt is the dream of  every athlete to win an Olympic medal. Even though I know that I am  capable of winning a medal, but then it is not at the back of my mind. A  constant thought like that it would hamper my performance and I do not  want that to happen,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Amit who is the youngest member  of the Indian wrestling contingent however said that that even though he  qualified for the Olympics he never saw it coming and had actually  targeted 2016 and it was all due to some hard training and good training  that saw him earn his London cut.<br \/>Amit who along with the other  Olympics bound wrestlers were in the camp at Colorado Springs said that  the stint helped him a lot to get acquainted with the European  wrestlers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe training in America was good. They had some  experienced coaches there and helped us a lot in understanding the  European style of wrestling. The camp also helped us increase our  stamina and speed,\u201d said the wrestler. <\/p>\n<p>Talking about their  upcoming conditioning-cum-training camp at Belarus ahead of the London  Olympic Games, where they would hone their skills furthermore, the 66-kg  freestyle wrestler said, \u201cFirst off al I would have to lose weight as I  am currently five kgs over my category. I am taking camp as a medium to  improve my speed, power and also refine my counter attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Olympics  would see top wrestlers from the whole world and even though all of  pose a threat to his chances, he is expecting a steep challenge from  Iran, Russia, Cuba, Japan and Korea.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-8540\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/amit-kumar.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"I feel no pressure as I know I have it in me to win: Amit Kumar\" width=\"250\" style=\"float: left; margin: 6px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/amit-kumar.jpg 250w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/amit-kumar-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>New Delhi:<\/strong> Representing the country in Olympics often sees an  athlete going through sleepless nights and tense moments but then young  Indian wrestler Amit Kumar negated any such feelings saying that he does  feel any pressure and is taking the mega event as any other tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI  feel no pressure as I know I have it in me to win.
