Remember the swollen, almost shut right eye, and the out-of-the-blue ankle lace (phittle) roll that earned Yogeshwar Dutt six quick points and the bronze medal at the London Olympics. Let’s revisit the bout which, in essence, defines Dutt the wrestler as well. Enjoy the video and let’s wait for him to compete later on Sunday, and try and do a repeat of London in Rio - in a category which has three world champions and the defending Olympic champion in the fray. Or rather, let’s hope the wrestler becomes an alchemist: turning the bronze to silver or gold. (Yogeshwar Dutt will take on Mongolia’s Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran in the men’s freestyle wrestling 65kg qualification round at 5PM IST)
