Sushil Kumar took part in the 66Kg freestyle wrestling event at the Beijing Olympics today. He had the first bout of the day against Dawn of USA whom he defeated 2-1 very easily, although a close match. His next bout was against the wrestler from Kazakistan for the Bronze medal. He defeated his opponent in the last bout winning India the Second medal, a bronze in the medal tally. Sushil Kumar has taken everyone by surprise, as nobody was really expecting anything from this quarter. All eyes were always on the better sportsmen of other sports like tennis, badminton, boxing and shooting. But, most of the other sportsmen, and women have disappointed India by their below par performance so far at Beijing. Sushil Kumar will no doubt be the second hero to come home to a grand welcome.
The other hopefuls yet are Vijender and Jitender in the Boxing events that are to take place in a short while. Let's see if India can get any more medals in its kitty! We wish them all the best!
