Are Indian wrestlers legit?

Honestly what haz been indias performance in the Olympics? Considering their population, how do they fair up against other non chinese east asinan countries like japan and korea?

Well, I mean, Japan and Korea are two of the biggest wrestling powerhouses in the history of Olympic wrestling. So that's almost an unfair question. India has a long history with wrestling and is one of the progenitors of freestyle wrestling as we see it today. In the modern era, they haven't had the greatest Olympic success, but a lot of that has to do with economic circumstances and the inability of a lot of wrestlers to get underwritten by the government the same way some countries do for their wrestlers. Sushi Kumar and his family had to work to support his wrestling, even as he was the reigning world champion. And even then, it's going to be a difficult path to getting selected for the national team, not just for wrestling, but based on political reasons as well.

They're about 20% of the planet and they get about 2 medals on average at the Olympics. They might be the most unathletic country in the world. I wouldn't be surprised if the average Dagestani high school boy ran through the whole Indian wrestling team.

It wouldn't happen. You got guys like Kumar and some other up and comers, some of which are favorites to medal.
 
People need to realize it’s not about total country population. It’s about the actual number of participants overall. Then about the level of coaching and institutional identity of winning and doing things the right way

Lets not forget while 5"10 Khabib is hospitalized almost dying to cut to 155Ibs, 5"8 Gama is undefeated at age 50 still whooping much larger 230+ Ibs guys as the openweight World Catch Wrestling champion.

Khabib would be spanked over Gama's knee if they had a chance to compete.

Comparing India to the Middle East because both are brown is like comparing England to Russia because both are white haha.

Dont worry Paki's will start doing mma because of the Beeb and then Indians will follow so they won't be left behind.

Khabib is white and India and Pakistan have two of the highest muslim and white-worshipping (srs) populations in the world so it makes sense why he'd be partially responsible for MMA popularity in the region

Lol maybe India but not Pakistan.

Mate, stop being so reasonable.

China must be terrible athletes - they have so many people, but don't even dominate Australian Rules Football.

You always make some weird strawmany leaps in your posts. What the fuck has Khabib cutting weight have to do with anything?

So India either doesn't have many wrestlers, doesn't have good coaching or doesn't do things the right way? Quite possibly all of those? Considering this, and going back to OP's question, I think it'd be fair to say India doesn't rank very high in terms of ''wrestling legitness''.

This is true, they have a fetish for light skin. Ironic also considering how much they spend in the US and Europe on tanning salons/spray tans these days as well.

It almost all countries with a colonial past and/or majority darker skinned populations, they do skin bleaching in most countries in asia/africa/south america and maybe even oceania.
