Women sportspersons like Krishna Poonia and Seema Antil are role models for Haryanvi women.

Young girls in Haryana should speak their mind and not be afraid to challenge the system.

I wear jeans and shorts. I travelled on my own to Mumbai for my knee surgery. I can go to Delhi when I want. Being a sportsperson helps me get away from the bhed bhav of Haryana.

Seeing my name in the newspapers after winning the national junior championship motivated me to win more medals and I have never looked back since then.

The media attention does not bother me. I am very happy that the media is at least interested in sports other than cricket.

I come from a wrestling background - my father and grandfather were into wrestling.

You should concentrate on the segregation of waste, especially kitchen waste. Only after segregation the waste becomes useful and it can be recycled.

The contribution of my dad towards women's wrestling in Haryana is immense and his vision and determination have shaped several young careers.

When Aamir Khan was in Haryana, we met him and he was very respectful to my parents.

Fitness for us on match day is paramount.

We see the worth and appreciate the discipline my father inculcated in us.

We had to go to bed by 8 P.M. My siblings and I would often play cards under the bed-sheets. But we would get caught and then were made to practise harder. My father would say, 'You need to work even more if you aren't tired enough to go to sleep.'

All young wrestlers would love to see their game back in Olympics.

World Championships is the toughest competition in the world.

You need a little bit of experience to do well in the Olympics.

We need to trust our coaches. Unless we trust them we can't get the result.

The coaches boosts our confidence when we lose. They remind us that we have done it once before and we can do it again.

Yes, Indian wrestling has improved since foreign coaches came in because the skills and techniques they have is new to us.

After I stop wrestling, my dream is to open a wrestling academy, train students and produce more Geetas and Babitas!

I was scared of water, so I learnt swimming.

I have overcome most of my fears.

Those who used to ask my father to be ashamed of himself for training us in wrestling now say they wish they have daughters like me.

We have regularly won medals at all tournaments and I think after 'Dangal,' the craze for wrestling increased among the girls.

Sushil is an experienced player, a big player.
