NEW DELHI, Aug 18:
Brimming with pride at their daughter’s historic achievement at the Rio Olympics, female wrestler Sakshi Malik’s parents today urged all fathers to encourage their daughters, who wants to take up sports, saying the grappler’s feat should set an example for all and sundry.
Sakshi clinched a historic bronze medal in the 58kg class to end India’s frustrating wait for a medal in the Rio Olympic Games yesterday.
“Parents support is very necessary and we have tried to give that to her in every way. When she won medals in Commonwealth game and Asian Champions, people who in the beginning used to criticise us came up to us and said your thoughts were very nice then,” a proud father Subir Malik said.(PTI)
