Answer
Hello and thanks for your question. If you have strong faith that you will get medal,but wanted to know how many hours of practise is required then there is a problem. All you need to do is to get a coach to train you so as to prepare you but I think that the time is too short. Ir you want to start learning wrestling and get in Olympics by 2010, and also win a medal then you should have strated the training for a long time and not just a fire brigad approach.

I think you hae to start practicing for another competition and not Olympics 2010.
