Maken lauds Yogeshwar's bronze at Olympics

New Delhi, Aug 12: Sports Minister Ajay Maken heaped praise on wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt for clinching a bronze medal at the London Olympics, saying the unassuming grappler deserved the feat.

"'the hardest worker... the nicest guy... no one deserves it more' True for Yogeshwar, he deserved it!" Maken wrote on Twitter after the wrestler had fought his way to the 60kg freestyle bronze in the British capital yesterday.

"5 Medals in 4 Sports; another 6 or 7 could have just made it;with Sushil Kumar yet to come;this is India's springboard.
