In the dying seconds of the bout as Sakshi Malik put her Kyrgyzstan opponent into the danger zone, wresting two points and Indias maiden medal at this Games, possibly half of India wasnt awake to celebrate the moment it had been eagerly awaiting.For the 23 year-old, it was also a fangirl moment to join her idols Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt among Indias four wrestlers to have won an Olympic medal.Sushil is my idol. He won us medals and put Indian wrestling on the Olympic map. I was excited to even see Sushil and Yogeshwar and often wished I could train with them and observe how they went about their training. Today, to be counted alongside them is a proud moment for me, she told reporters after scripting history as the first Indian woman to win a wrestling medal at the Olympics.Turning a deficit into an advantage and finally a medal, the Haryana girl credited her parents, coaches and sparring partners for her moment of glory, while reveavling what was on her mind when she was down 5-0 at the halfway mark.I was obviously under pressure but I was confident of winning a medal if I fought till the end. In wrestling, you can never predict, you never know when things can change. I tried to attack in the first round but ended up committing a few errors.When the bout moved into the final three minutes I told myself whatever it is, I have to do it right here, right now.Isse aage kuch nahin hai (There is nothing beyond this).With fellow wrestler and friend Vinesh Phogat conceding her pre-quarterfinal bout following a knee injury, Sakshi admitted that it left her both sad and distracted.Vinesh is my friend so when she suffered the injury my mind was a bit diverted, said Sakshi. Uska bhi medal tha usko injury ho gaya toh saara pressure mere upar hai mujhe laga?(She too was in medal contention, but after she suffered the injury I felt that the entire pressure was on me). We must win one medal at least, I told myself. My initial feeling was that we both would do well, but after she was injured I knew I had to do it.Throwing in a befitting reply to those who mocked her for taking up wrestling in her native village Mokhra, in Rohtak, Haryana, she said, Thoda sa vishwas jataon ladkiyon mein bhi. Ladkiyan bhi bahut kuch kar sakti hai?(Have some faith in girls. Theres a lot that girls can do).?In joining the exclusive club of Karnam Malleswari, MC Mary Kom and Saina Nehwal, this 23-year-old certainly did! Authentic NCAA Jerseys Wholesale .

"Maria Sharapova is one of the great warriors of the tennis world," U.S. Tennis Association Executive Director and COO Gordon Smith said. "If she withdrew, theres a serious issue."
