Karnam Malleshwari

Wrestler Sakshi Malik made the entire country proud when she won a historic bronze at the Rio Olympics last month. However, the journey to the podium was definitely not easy.

Indian Weightlifting Federation on Saturday constituted a three-member committee to probe into the charges of sexual harassment of junior lifters by an unnamed coach as alleged by Sydney Olympic bronze medallist Karnam Malleswari.

If allegations of sexual harassment in hockey weren't enough, former Olympic bronze medalist Karnam Malleshwari has now set the cat among the pigeons. She said on Thursday that women athletes in India are subject to sexual harassment not just by coaches, but also by federation officials.
