Rio Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik has been listed in the list of 100 most influential people of 2024 by Time magazine.
Sakshi, India's only female Olympic medallist in wresting, has been honoured for her relentless fight against alleged sexual harassment of female wrestlers by former Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
Sakshi along with two-time World Championships bronze medallist Vinesh Phogat and Tokyo Olympics bronze winner Bajrang Punia spearheaded the protest against Singh at the Jantar Mantar, demanding his arrest for intimidating and allegedly sexually harassing female grapplers of the country.
