Wrestling has a historic place for India in Olympics. The first ever Olympics medal won by an individual Indian after Independence came in wrestling when KD Jadhav clinched bronze in the 1952 Helsinki Games. Sushil Kumar, the first Indian to win multiple individual medals for India, also did it in wrestling in 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Games.
