The freestyle wrestling contingent returned with a surprise haul of 10 medals – 1 gold, 3 silver and 6 bronze. The Indian wrestlers have a tremendous fighting spirit and effort until the end for medals.

Among the standout performers, Deepak Punia (92 kg) and Udit (61 kg) reached the finals but had to settle for silver. Udit, who had previously won silver in the 57 kg category, fought valiantly but lost to Japan’s Takara Suda (6-4). Deepak Punia, a former World Championship silver medalist, dominated his way to the final but fell to Iran’s Amirhossein Biglar (10-0). This marked Deepak’s third Asian Championship silver and fifth overall medal at the event.

On the bronze front, Dinesh Kumar (125 kg) delivered a thrilling performance, defeating Turkmenistan’s Zyyamuhammet Saparov (12-12, technical superiority). At the same time, Mukul Dahiya (86 kg) fell just short in a tough bronze medal match against Japan’s Tatsuya Shirai (4-2).

Though they encountered tough competition, wrestlers from India confirmed their ascendance on the Asian circuit.

With this great performance India continued to strengthen its position in the sport of wrestling.
