The Hindu
Anshu Malik has competed in only six senior tournaments thus far and won medals in five of them, becoming the 57kg Asian champion in the process.
When 12-year-old Anshu Mailk told her grandmother that she wants to be a wrestler, little inkling did her father Dharamvir had that in seven years, his daughter would realise his unfulfilled dream. It was in 2012 when Anshu insisted that she, like her younger brother Shubham, be trained as a wrestler at Nidani Sports School. In six months, Dharamvir found out that his “chhori (daughter)” was no less than any of the “chhoras” (boy). In fact, she was actually better, the wrestler in him assessed.More Related News
