    Congratulations!!!

    Bravo Sushil Kumar: A Bronze for India!!!

    Sushil KumarAfter a strenuous fight Indian wrestler Sushil Kumar defeated Leonid Speiridonov of Kazakhstan in the men's freestyle (66 kg) event to grab the bronze in the Olympic Games Today, the wednes day at the Chinese Agricultural University,Beijing. Unheralded Sushil Kumar rose from obscurity to find his rightful place in the history of Indian sports when he won the bronze medal in men's 66kg freestyle category at the Beijing Olympics here on Wednesday. Sushil's campaign seemed nearly over when he lost his first round battle against eventual silver medallist Andriy Stadnik. But, repechage provided him a ray of hope recharged him and the Indian proved simply irresistible as he beat three grapplers on the trot to win the bronze.
    Down in the dumps after his opening round defeat, Sushil came up with an incredible show, beating Doug Schwab (USA), Albert Batyrov (Belarus) and finally the losing semi-finalist Leonid Spiridonov (Kazakhstan) in the repechage rounds to earn his slice of history. Sushil thus became the second Indian wrestler after K D Jadhav who won a bronze in the 1952 Helsinki Games to win an Olympic medal. And thus India bagged another medal in its possession.
    Though the Kazakh grappler scored one in the second period and managed to thwart Sushil, the Indian proved his superiority again in the third period and eventually prevailed 3-2 to trigger frenzied celebration among the Indians present at the Chinese Agricultural University here.. Congratulate Sushil Kumar..
