5 veterans who could win a medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics

3.Sushil Kumar

It took an Indian wrestler 56 years to match the feat of KD Jadhav in winning an Olympic medal. Hailing from a small town in Haryana, Sushil Kumar became the second man to do so in Beijing in 2008, when he won the bronze in the 66kg Freestyle category to be only one of India's three medalists at the Games.

Thankfully, India didn't need to wait for such a long time for another medal in the sport at the Olympics as Sushil went from one better from Beijing in London, by claiming the silver in the same category.

Now, in what seems to be his final Olympics at Rio(if he makes the cut). Sushil will be looking to change the colour of the medal to Gold and become the first Indian to achieve the historic feat of winning all three.
