Olympics - Second for India



Today, India won its second medal(bronze) in wrestling. This time it's Sushil Kumar who made his country proud. He beat Leonid Spiridonov of Kazakhstan in men’s 66kg freestyle wrestling event. Kumar became the first Indian to win a wrestling medal at the Olympics since 1952. It's a cheerful day for Indians after Akhil kumar fails to sweep a medal. Back in India different State Govts. and organizations have announced cash reward for his achievement. In a cricket crazy country like India Wrestling has never given its justified position in society, though has a lot of potential and skill. Now I hope situation may change and Govt starts to look, and also invests in this sport.

I congratulate him on behalf of billions of people of India. And hope he win gold next time.
