		+	India's first medallist in Rio, Sakshi Malik, wasn't even the original choice to represent the country in the newly-introduced 58kg freestyle wrestling category for the Rio Olympics. In fact it was Geeta Phogat -her `didi', and the poster girl of Indian women's wrestling -who was the first choice, considering her experience and success at the highest level. But a twist in the tale helped the till-now unsung Sakshi to make it to the Olympics and script a heart-warming success story . Geeta, who is from the first family of women's wrestling's and is now the subject of a soon-to-bereleased Bollywood film, was the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympics at the London Games in 2012, in the 55kg category. She was also the first woman from India to win a gold medal in the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010. s in Delhi in 2010.
		+
		+	Understandably then, she was the Wrestling Federation of India's (WFI) first and only choice for Rio in the new 58 kg category, since a country can only end one wrestler for one weight category.However, during the first Olympic qualification tournament in Ulan Bator in April, Geeta was slated to fight in the repechage event but pulled out at the last minute citing injury concerns. It irked the WFI so much so it imposed a temporary ban on Geeta.
		+
		+	Only four months before the Ulan Bator incident, in Dec 2015, Sakshi created a flutter in wrestling circles by upsetting her more fancied rival in the Pro-Wrestling League. Nobody had expected it, but her win over Geeta affirmed WFI's believe that they had a dependable back-up. So after the Ulan Bator incident, WFI acted swiftly by asking Sakshi to be ready for the second and final qualification in Turkey in May . Sakshi grabbed the chance with both hands and secured the quota for the Games.
		+
		+	It's ironic that four years back, during the London Olympics, Geeta too was in the reckoning for a bronze medal. That time, she lost her repechage round bout.

	Following that, Sakshi booked her seat on the flight to Rio by winning Bronze in the Summer Olympics Qualifiers, defeating Chinese Lan Zhang in the semifinal, at Istanbul.
