For me wrestling is like offering a prayer: Sakshi Malik

TIL Desk Sports/ Aspiring to win another Olympic medal, Rio Games bronze medallist Sakshi Malik has said wrestling for her was like offering a prayer. Sakshi became the first woman wrestler from India to bag an Olympic medal at the Rio Games last year.

“I want to become the first woman wrestler to win Olympic medal twice,” Sakshi said on the sidelines of an event here on the International World Wrestling Day. “For me wrestling is like a ‘puja’. I am what I am today because of the sport, which has taught me that there are no shortcuts to success,” the 24-year-old wrestler told.

Datsun redi-GO Sport brand ambassador Sakshi, who today launched Datsun Care — a new service package plan for new redi-GO owners, said she was gearing up for the World Championship, to be held in Paris in August. “It (training) is ongoing. I will try to improve further because you never stop learning.” Sakshi, who got married last month, said nothing has changed after marriage and she would continue her wrestling.
