For nearly a decade, Satish Kumar has been India’s flagbearer in the men’s super heavyweight category. He missed out on qualification to the 2016 Rio Olympics by the barest of margins, but in March this year, he created history by becoming the first Indian to qualify for the Games in the +91kg category.
“I was extremely happy to qualify for the Olympics and on top of that there was the fact that I am the first Indian to qualify in my weight category,” Satish told IANS on Wednesday. “I really can’t explain that feeling. It is everyone’s dream to get to this stage and win a medal at the Olympics. It’s the same for me and so now that I am there my target is to get the medal.”
