From Delivering Milk To First Career Gold At KITG 2026, J&K Wrestler Hamam Hussain’s Dreams Come True
Khelo India Tribal Games: When Jammu and Kashmir’s Hamam Hussain isn’t occupied with wrestling practice, he assists his elder brother in delivering milk door-to-door. Hussain and his brother have been selling milk to support their family since their father died five years ago, all while pursuing his wrestling ambitions.
All those efforts finally paid off at the Khelo India Tribal Games 2026, where the 28-year-old wrestler from Jorawar village in Jammu won the men’s 79kg freestyle gold, defeating Mohit Kumar of Himachal Pradesh and earning his first national gold in 14 years of wrestling.
“My elder brother was also a wrestler and had competed at the state level. After our father passed away, all responsibilities came on our shoulders. My brother had to quit wrestling and started selling milk. I would go with him to deliver milk, as it was necessary for us to run the family. But he motivated me to continue wrestling and took me to dangals,” Hussain told SAI Media.
