Sakshi Malik is an Indian freestyle wrestler. At the 2016 Summer Olympics, she won the bronze medal in the 58 kg category, becoming the first Indian female wrestler to win a medal at the Olympics and the fourth female Olympic medalist from the country.

Standing at the Olympic podium, watching the Indian flag among the top three is the proudest moment for an athlete,” says the 25-year-old, who became the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal for wrestling.

Her victory was rather dramatic after she fell behind 0-5 in the do-or-die bout. It seemed like India would again lose out. In her qualifying round, Sakshi had come back from 0-4 to win the match with 5-4.
