India's sixth medal of the 2012 Olympics

London: The 29-year-old, Wrestler Sushil Kumar on Sunday created history by becoming the first Indian to win back-to-back Olympic medals when he assured himself a silver by  storming into the final of the men`s freestyle 66 category in a dramatic fashion at the Excel arena.

He ended India’s campaign at the London Olympic Games on a bright note by securing a sixth medal on the final day.

With the addition of Sushil's silver medal, India completed their engagements in the 30th edition of the Olympics with a record haul of six medals -- two silver and four bronze -- but the gold medal could not be won by any one.

"It was bronze in Beijing, and now it's a silver. So we are gradually going up and may be in the next Olympics, I will be able to win the gold medal," Sushil said.

"I had a stomach problem just after the semi-final, because of the dehydration. I lost weight and was feeling a little weak. But we have got a silver medal and we will try for gold medal in the next Olympics," Sushil said after the medal ceremony.

"I had said about 15 days ago that we will do well. It was a question of what will be the colour of medals. I am happy that Yogeshwar won a bronze and our performance will keep improving," he said.

Tintu Luka disappointed our hopes

800m semifinal

By her standards, Luka ran well. She clocked her season best time of 1 minute, 59.69 seconds but it wasn’t enough to take her through to the final. The last of the eight qualifiers had a timing of 1:59.45. Luka was good, but others were better.

PT Usha also pointed out lack of high-level competition as a reason for Luka not doing so well at top meets against the best athletes. “There is very little competition in India to keep Tintu occupied. We have to travel a lot to take part in big tournaments and sometimes, it becomes difficult to do that logistically. That is hurting her a lot,” Usha said.
