India is no longer the “one-medal nation”. Sushil Kumar ensured that by winning a bronze medal on Wednesday, just a week after shooter Abhinav Bindra struck gold in Beijing.
Kumar beat Leonid Spiridonov of Kazakhstan in a bronze medal bout of the men’s 66kg freestyle wrestling event.
Bindra had won India’s first ever individual Olympic gold medal in the men’s 10m air rifle event on August 11.
And another medal is assured with Indian pugilist Vijender Kumar surviving in the boxing event.
On Wednesday, Sushil Kumar became the first Indian to win a wrestling medal at the Olympics since 1952.
Join us in congratulating him.

SUSHIL KUMAR,
AS THE SAYING GOES, YOU ARE TRULY” ONE IN A BILLION”.
SALUTATIONS TO YOU. YOU HAVE ACHIEVED SUCCESS BY SHEER BRILLIANCE AND HARDWORK. I WISH MORE SPONSORS COME FORWARD TO ENCOURAGE SUCH SPORTSMEN WHO WOULD MAKE INDIA PROUD.IF, ATLEAST A FRACTION OF THE MONEY THAT IS SPENT ON CRICKET, GOES TO OTHER SPORTS, WE WOULD HAVE MANY MORE SUSHIL KUMARS. MAYBE BCCI COULD DIVERT SOME OF ITS FUNDS TO OTHER SPORTING BODIES IN INDIA.
