Kumars are King !!!

Vijendar Kumar, Sushil Kumar, Akhil Kumar, Jitendar Kumar….certainly Kumar is King!!. This blogger had realist expectations from Akhil and Jitendar, and boy they were brilliant. I guess it was not their day. It is always easy to pass judgment on what they could have done and not done but the fact is they came so far with heavy odds stacked against them. My favorite remains Akhil, the boy is talented, I guess the defense was weak. But he really has a great attitude towards the game, in the end that matters. And he was a motivator to others. Vijendar handled the pressure better therefore won. Bravo to that.

Bhiwani a non descript district of Haryana (till recently known as small kashi of India because of numerous temples) is now the boxing capital of India !!.


Sushil Kumar matches also this blogger had the fortune to watch, he played two matches in the morning with a gap of an hour or so (not much into wrestling so don’t know the technicalities). And still manage to win a medal, now that is incredible!!.
