India@Beijing Olympics2008: Sushil Kumar wins Wrestling Bronze

By thedarknight ⋅ August 20, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Sushil Kumar won the bronze medal after beating Kazakhstan’s wrestler in a play-off in the men’s 66 kg freestyle wrestling through the repechage round at the Beijing Olympics.

Earlier, India’s ace freestyle grappler Sushil Kumar lost out in the first round to Ukraine’s Andriy Stadnik in the men’s 66 kg freestyle event. He had garnered a point in that round which helped him here to get into the play-offs.

However, he was no match for the Ukrainian in the second round. In the reechage round, getting into the losing semi-finalists round is enough to secure a bronze medal.

Sushil had made it to the Olympics after making it to the quarter-finals of the World wrestling championship, where he lost to Stadnik from a convincing margin of 4-15.
