Jadhav]] earned bronze for [[Wrestling at the 1952 Summer Olympics – Men's freestyle bantamweight|freestyle bantamweight wrestling at the 1952 Summer Olympics, Helsinki]]). The medal was also India's first since their [[Field hockey at the 1980 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|men's hockey team won gold at the 1980 Moscow Olympics]].
