She had the last laugh over a patriarchal system, inclusive of the nation at large, the media and also the administrative structure of her sport (her one-time coach had proclaimed a few months before Sydney that she is not a good enough lifter). If Leander Paes was celebrated for the bronze at Atlanta, then Malleshwari deserves even more for her showing in Sydney. After all, she does not come from a privileged background like Leander.
