Yogeshwar Dutt had suffered a serious injury some time back, and had to work really hard to get back into shape for the 2012 Olympic Games. After winning the final repechage wrestling match, he turned two somersaults on the wrestling mat, much to the joy of his coach and the cheering Indian fans in the stands.
I really enjoyed watching Yogeshwar Dutt's wrestling matches. They were so exciting, my dad told me to sit still and stop squirming on the couch! There are only 2-3 rounds in wrestling, with each round lasting only two minutes. Even though wrestling matches are short in duration, they can be very thrilling, as I found out today!
Yogeshwar Dutt had previously won the gold medal for India in the 60 kg section, in the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in New Delhi. With Yogeshwar Dutt's bronze medal, India has surpassed its highest Olympic medal tally ever, getting five medals in total. This includes one silver medal and four bronze medals.
Congratulations to pehelwan Yogeshwar Dutt for making India proud! You're the man!!
