India’s Female Combat Athletes
In India, wrestling is generally a man’s world. The practice dates back more than 1,000 years but, traditionally, girls were not allowed to even step onto a wrestling mat. Girls have also been unwelcome in another combat sport – boxing. Yet a few women have bravely defied convention and risen to the top of their sport, inspiring a new generation of girls. And they are also taking the fight to the streets, sparking the country’s first MeToo movement in Indian sport.
