One of the beginners at the centre is 11-year-old Sakshi Malik. After her illustrious namesake became the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal for wrestling, Sakshi decided that she wanted to follow in her footsteps. Every morning before school, and every afternoon after classes get over, she makes her way from her village, Kharawar, which is about half an hour away.

For the twenty-somethings, the wrestlers are grappling with the pressure to get married, but not in the same way as their peers. Their families insist that they focus on their game, win accolades and then think of “settling down”. Medals will give them an “upper hand” when it comes to prospective suitors, says a coach. For now, the mat is where their focus is.

Sudesh Malik, 22, who is from Bhainswal Kalan village in Sonepat district but lives and trains in Rohtak, knows exactly how things have changed for her ilk. Her parents had forced her to stop wrestling when she was younger. Only an intervention from her coach could get them to agree. “When I started winning, they stopped objecting. Now they support me completely. In fact, when I meet my friends from the village, they tell me that I have it the best. They’re all married. They tell me not to get married,” she says.

For Sudesh, who competes in the 74-kg weight class, the growing participation of girls has meant more competition. “Earlier, there used to be only five to seven girls in my weight class. Now, at national-level events, there are up to 25,” she says.
