Sushil’s internatio­nal success triggered a revolution and created an inspiratio­nal legacy. The reserved grappler from Najagarh’s Baprola village is till date India’s only world champion (2010) in the sport. He is also the only one to claim two individual Olympic medals, an exceptiona­l feat for a country which has seen very limited success at the Games.
