Go Vijendra Go! And Thank You Sushil Kumar!

Vijendra is now in the semi finals of the Middle Weight Boxing championship. So that assures us of a bronze medal at least! I hope we will see him the finals. He is from Bhiwani.

And I had never heard of Sushil Kumar before today! He lives in Najafgarh! Here is what Sushil Kumar's father said-

Talk to his village folk in Boprala in Najafgarh, West Delhi, they will tell you that they knew he was destined for great things, even if wrestling does not get the importance it deserves in this country.

The entire village celebrated Sushil's success and every household from the village head downwards said he was their darling son.

His father Diwan Singh, an MTNL driver, said his son promised him a gold and that Sushil must be disappointed for getting a just the bronze. He has put Boprala on the wrestling map of the world.
