A prolific story of a wrestler from humble origins making it big, Katulu Ravi Kumar managed to come from the town of Berhampur in Odisha and claim the gold in the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. En route, he has made a big name for himself and will be a bright prospect for India in the London Olympics, despite the high level of competition.
While he was originally a bodybuilder, Ravi Kumar took to weightlifting quite recently. This makes his success story even more inspiring. His switch to weightlifting reportedly came on the instance of his trainer Narayan Sahu.
Currently employed in the Indian Army, a lot of hopes are pinned on him to go the extra mile and follow up his success in the Commonwealth Games with glory in the Olympics.
