During her appearance on PV Sindhu’s new show ‘The A-Game by PV Sindhu,’ Sakshi Malik shared the story of her Olympics bronze medal victory.

Sakshi Malik credits training camps before the Olympics for her medal win
Sakshi Malik stated that she had become a wrestler to fulfill her simple dream of sitting on an airplane. Gradually, she came to know about the Commonwealth Games, the Asian Games, the Olympics, and the prominence that these competitions had in an athlete’s life.
Disclosing her mindset before the Rio Olympics in 2016, Sakshi Malik said:
It is noteworthy that the 28-year-old from Rohtak had lost to Russian wrestler Valeria Koblova in the Rio Olympics’ quarterfinals. However, Sakshi Malik returned via repechage and defeated Pürevdorjiin Orkhon and Aisuluu Tynybekova to secure a bronze medal in the 58kg category.
Sakshi Malik has not qualified for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics yet, but Indian sports fans expect her to secure her berth for the mega event soon.
