Olympic Snippets: It's real life Sultan & Dangal at Rio!

​​​Three Indian men wrestlers have won medals at the Olympics. Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav, bronze 1952. Sushil Kumar, silver 2012 and bronze 2008. Yogeshwar Dutt, bronze 2012.

Who would be the first woman wrestler to join them?

In the upcoming Bollywood film Dangal, Aamir Khan plays the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, whose daughters Babita Kumari and Geeta Phogat stormed the world of women's wrestling.

Both have won a bronze at the World Wrestling Championships along with a gold at the Commonwealth Games. While Babita fell ill in Rio on landing there and since recovered, a first crack at getting a medal went to Vinesh Phogat's, Mahavir Singh's niece and also a Commonwealth Games gold medallist.
