The 2018 Jakarta Asian Games is in full swing, and news came from the women's wrestling arena that in the women's freestyle wrestling 50 kg final, India's Wensh won the championship, and the unknown champion turned out to be the famous Indian inspirational blockbuster "WrestleMania!" The cousin of Geeta and Babita, the archetype characters of "Daddy". The film, which has become popular all over the world, is being staged as a "sequel" at the Asian Games in Jakarta.
WrestleMania! Daddy is an Indian film directed by Nitsh Tivari. Based on the true story of Indian wrestler Mahavira Singer Perga, the film tells the inspirational story of former wrestling champion Singh who trained his two daughters to become women's wrestling champions, breaking Indian traditions.
In fact, even more dramatic than the film, the real-life Mahavira did not raise two daughters, but four! Moreover, his two nieces are also wrestling champions in India. The eldest daughter, Geeta Phogat, born on 15 December 1988, won the Women's 55 kg competition at the Commonwealth Games in 2010 and is the first female athlete in the history of Indian sport to win a wrestling championship, having won a world championship medal and competed in the 2012 London Olympics, becoming the first female wrestler to qualify for the Summer Olympics.
The second daughter, Babita Kumari, born on 20 November 1989, won the gold medal in women's freestyle wrestling in the 51 kg category at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, twice at the Commonwealth Wrestling Championships and bronze at the 2012 World Wrestling Championships. Her third daughter, Ritu Phogat, was born on 2 May 1994 and began at the age of 8 and won gold in women's freestyle wrestling in the 46 kg category at the 2016 Commonwealth Games in Singapore. Born on March 5, 1998, the fourth daughter, Sangita Phogat, is also a rising star in Indian women's wrestling.
As for Winsh, her upbringing was not ordinary. As a child, Windsh's father died unexpectedly in a land dispute, and Mahavira adopted her and her sister. Winsh and his cousins had a grueling wrestling training session.
Because they were in a traditional village, girls practicing wrestling was seen as a violation of local morality and values, and they had to face opposition from the township party. It wasn't until Winsh and his cousin won the women's 48 kg title and runner-up in freestyle wrestling at the 2014 Commonwealth Games that the doubts slowly subsided.
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Wen shi was eliminated by China's Sun Yanan. In this battle in Jakarta, the two met again, and this time Wensh became the winner and advanced to the next round. In the final on the 20th, she continued to beat the powerful Japanese player Irie Xue 6-2 to win the second gold medal (and also the women's first gold) of the Asian Games for the Indian delegation.
In an interview after the game, Windsh said: "I wasn't nervous at all today because I played in the Olympics. Although I was eliminated at the Olympics, that defeat also gave me a good experience. Looking to the future, she set her sights on the Tokyo Olympics, "I hope that this Asian Games victory will become a new starting point for her to attack the gold medals of the Tokyo Olympic Games." ”
Talking about Wrestlemania! Uncle Mahavira trained us at least 10 times more rigorously than in the movie.
Although the inspirational movie "Wrestle Daddy" has an ending moment, a realistic version of the "sequel" is being staged. Looking forward to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, such a sequel will be staged again.
