India continued its medal-winning streak at the 2025 Senior Asian Wrestling Championship in Amman, Jordan, securing one silver and two bronze medals on Thursday.<\/p>\n
On Day 3 of the competition, Reetika won silver, while Muskan and Mansi Lather bagged a bronze each.<\/p>\n
The standout performer of the day was Reetika, who won India\u2019s first silver medal of the championship. She began her campaign with a dominant 10-0 victory over South Korea\u2019s Seoyeon Jeong in the qualification round.<\/p>\n
In a major upset, she defeated Japan\u2019s strong contender, Nodoka Yamamoto, by fall in the semifinal. However, in a closely contested gold medal bout, she narrowly lost 6-7 to Kyrgyzstan\u2019s Aiperi Medet Kyzy, settling for silver.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s first bronze medal of the day came from Muskan (59kg). She started with a commanding 10-0 win against Arian G. Carpio of the Philippines but faced a tough 12-2 loss against Japan\u2019s Sakura Onishi. However, she made a strong comeback in the bronze medal match, defeating Mongolia\u2019s Altjin Togtokh 4-0.<\/p>\n
The second bronze medal was secured by Mansi Lather (68kg). She dominated Chinese Taipei\u2019s Sheng F. Cai 10-0 in her opening bout. Her next match was against a Japanese wrestler, but due to an injury, she advanced to the semifinal, where she lost 1-10 to China\u2019s Zelu Li. Undeterred, she fought back in the bronze medal match, defeating Kazakhstan\u2019s Irina Kazyulina 12-2.<\/p>\n
The President of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) expressed satisfaction with the team\u2019s performance, stating that Indian wrestling is regaining momentum after a challenging two years.<\/p>\n
So far, India has won a total of five medals (one silver and four bronze) in the championship. Two of these bronze medals came in the Greco-Roman format, with Sunil Kumar and Nitesh finishing third in the men\u2019s 87kg and men\u2019s 97kg weight divisions, respectively.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, the excitement continues as top women grapplers Antim, Manisha, and Jyoti Berwal are set to compete in their respective categories on Friday, presenting more medal opportunities for India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
