Sushil Kumar Brings Glory to India with the Second Medal (Bronze) - Breaking News

Sushil KumarSushil Kumar

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!

Vijender Gets third medal

Sushil Kumar is simply great

Sushil Kumar had to fight hard to get that bronze to the country. Actually he had beaten 3 within one hour. Great presence of mind and great warrior as well. He deserves all glory... +1 http://www.xomba.com/life_insurance_a_contract_that_keeps_you_poor_all_your_life_so_that_you_can_die_rich

Second Individual Medal

is a real glory for India as it has never been achieved so far. And Mamamia, I didn't realize that India had moved up a jump in the medal tally just with this one medal. Thanks for the info. That's great! Imagine what one more could do? Jitender has dashed all hopes of another medal as he lost his bout with the Russian. But, we still have Vijender....!??

Cheers rawnak

India will be celebrating. One itself was kind of unbelievable Bare Essentials

thats great

didnt know anyone had come this far in wrestling - was just looking out for virender, jitender and akhil kumar. its a pretty decent medal table now! 1 to 2 medals is a jump of 13 places in the medal tally (from 55th to 42nd) http://www.xomba.com/beijiong_olympics_competition_schedule http://www.xomba.com/beijing_olympics_athletics_schedule http://www.xomba.com/michael_phelps_facebook http://www.xomba.com/mens_football_schedule_beijing_olympics
