Sujeet Kalkal on turning Olympic heartbreak into Asian Games gold

Sujeet Kalkal, a 25-year-old Indian wrestler, won gold at the Asian Games after overcoming significant setbacks. Two years prior, he was affected by floods in Dubai, which prevented him from qualifying for the Paris Olympics. In the 65kg final, Kalkal made a remarkable comeback from a 2-9 deficit to defeat Tajikistan's Abdulmazhid Kudiev with a score of 10-9.

Looking ahead, Kalkal has set his sights on the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, where he aims to achieve gold rather than merely participating.
