Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav belongs to the record of wrestling as a competitor whose results still define part of the sport.
The record lists Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav as Olympic wrestler (1926-1984).
Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav was born at Karad in 1926. His recorded nationality is Dominion of India.
By this period sport was fully international, televised and politicised, and an athlete's reach extended far past the field of play.
He competed at 1952 Summer Olympics and 1948 Summer Olympics.
His name is attached above all to winning a bronze medal at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.
His record includes the Arjuna Award.
That the career was built from Dominion of India matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav died in 1984, aged 58. The results remain in the record, which is the only permanent form of an athletic career.
