• Sushil Kumar became the first Indian athlete to win two Olympic medals in individual events when he won the silver medal in men’s 66kg freestyle wrestling on Sunday.
• Despite losing in the final, Sushil Kumar helped lift the nation’s mood on the final day of an Olympics campaign which delighted and disappointed in equal measure.
• The two-time Olympics medallist can now rightfully claim a place among India’s best Olympians, if not the best ever. Sushil has a gold medal from 2010 world championships.
