Olympic bronze medallist Sushil Kumar lived up to his reputation as he bagged gold in the men’s 66kg freestyle on the second day of the senior Asian Wrestling Championships here on Thursday.
Sushil, also a four-time Commonwealth Championship gold medallist, produced an impressive performance to toy with Kim Dae Sung of Korea in straight periods 4-0, 2-0.
With Sushil winning the yellow medal, India’s tally in the championships swelled to two gold.
“It feels good to be the Asian champion. This win gives a boost to my confidence before important events like World championship and the Commonwealth Games. It was a tough fight in the finals,” said Sushil.
