Wrestler Sushil Kumar can now fly free on SpiceJet

Mumbai: Gurgaon-based low-cost carrier SpiceJet Ltd announced on Thursday that freestyle wrestling champion Sushil Kumar, who won a bronze at the Beijing Olympics, can travel free on the airlines all his life.
Sushil, who bagged the bronze in the 66 kg category, has been accorded with the 'Flying for Life' recognition after winning the bronze medal at the Olympics, a company release said on Thursday.
Sushil Kumar's feat is also remarkable as he is the second Indian wrestler to win a medal after Kashabha Jadhav, who won it in the 1952 Helsinki Games.
Bindra, who won a gold medal in the men's 10m air rifle, was the first to be given the special honour of Flying for Life by SpiceJet.
