Sujeet Kalkal’s Asian Games gold came two years after floods in Dubai cost him a chance to qualify for the Paris Olympics. The 25-year-old wrestler fought back from 2-9 down to beat Tajikistan’s Abdulmazhid Kudiev 10-9 in the 65kg final, ending India’s eight-year wait for a wrestling gold at the Games. Now targeting Los Angeles 2028, Kalkal says he does not want to go to the Olympics just to participate – he wants gold.
