The trials were held at the Indira Gandhi Stadium, where Nishu came through a competitive 53kg field and defeated Thishka in the final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Under the Wrestling Federation of India\u2019s (WFI) selection policy, the winners of Monday\u2019s trials will get an opportunity to face the wrestlers already selected for the Asian Games in a final trial. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
The eventual winner of that contest will represent India in the respective category at the Senior World Championships, scheduled to be held in Astana, Kazakhstan, from October 24 to November 1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The final trial between Nishu and Antim will be conducted at a later date.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The trials in four non-Olympic weight categories are also scheduled to be held separately. Apart from Nishu, several other wrestlers produced strong performances in the women\u2019s categories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The two-time U20 World Champion Kajal topped the 76kg category after defeating Siksha in the final, while Simran secured the 57kg title by edging Swati Shinde.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Neelam claimed the 50kg top spot after overcoming Ankush in the final. Tapsya won the 62kg category with a victory over Anjali, while Srishti prevailed against Bipasha to finish first in the 68kg division.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
WFI President Sanjay Singh praised the standard of competition and said the performances highlighted the growing depth in Indian women\u2019s wrestling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe quality and intensity of the bouts today were encouraging. The wrestlers fought with tremendous determination and showed that there is considerable depth across the weight categories. I congratulate all the winners and look forward to seeing them compete for India on the international stage,\u201d Sanjay Singh said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The spotlight, however, will remain firmly on the 53kg category, where Nishu\u2019s trial victory has set up a high-stakes final contest against Antim, with a World Championships place at stake.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
