Karnan Malleswari
The first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal. In the run-up to the Sydney Games in 2000, where she won a weightlifting bronze, an Indian magazine had said she was overweight and drank beer. Malleswari's medal was only the third individual Olympic medal won by an Indian and led to her being promised a million rupees (more than £12,000) by the chief minister of the state of Andhra Pradesh. She was honoured with the Arjuna award, India's highest accolade for sports stars.
