Answer:

(1) Khashaba Jadhav won a bronze medal in freestyle wrestling at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952.

(2) It was the first individual Olympic medal won by independent India.

(3) Sports keep citizens physically fit and mentally strong. They teach discipline, team spirit and the courage to accept defeat. When sportspersons win at the international level, the whole country feels proud and united, and the nation gets recognition in the world. Sports also give careers to many people, such as coaches, trainers and sports journalists. So the government and society should encourage sports.
