Indian wrestlers have consistently secured medals in every Olympic Games since 2008 in Beijing, solidifying wrestling's position as a premier Olympic sport in the nation. This success has extended to the junior level as well, with the emergence of U23 world champions, raising expectations for outstanding performances in Paris.
Sushil Kumar's bronze medal in 2008 marked a turning point in the perception of wrestling in India. He surpassed his own achievement by claiming silver in the 2012 London Games, where Yogeshwar Dutt also earned a bronze.
