KIYG 2023: School bus driver’s daughter wins bronze

Chennai, Jan 31 (UNI) At 4.30 in the morning, Jagdish Gulia and his eight-year-old daughter Tannu were glued to television watching Indian women wrestling at the 2016 Rio Olympics. When Sakshi Malik turned the bout on its head in the dying seconds to secure bronze, both Jagdish and Tannu embraced each other in celebration.
It was at this moment when Jagdish, a school bus driver in Haryana, decided that Tannu would become a grappler. On the other hand, Tannu was even more excited thinking about the travelling opportunities she would be getting as an athlete.
She took one step closer to that dream when she won the bronze medal in the 65kg weight category at the Rajarathinam stadium here on Tuesday.
