NEW DELHI: Sports Minister M S Gill congratulated wrestler Sushil Kumar for winning an Olympic bronze medal at the Beijing Games on Wednesday.
Sushil won the medal after his excellent show in the three-round repechage match of 66kg men's freestyle wrestling event.
"I am delighted as the whole country is. We won the wrestling bronze long ago in 1952 Helsinki Games when K D Jadhav from Maharashtra did it. I congratulate Sushil on his great win," Gill said in a statement.
"His medal will encourage all the wrestlers and we will support all of them," he added.
