World Wrestling Championships: Manisha Bhanwala, India’s first woman to win a senior World Wrestling Championships gold medal, wants her historic achievement to pave the way for more Indian women wrestlers to reach the top, as the country recorded its best-ever performance at the Women’s Wrestling World Championships 2026 with four medals in the competition.

Manisha, who clinched a historic gold in the 59kg category on Friday, believes the significance of her breakthrough will ultimately lie in seeing more Indian women become world champions and make such achievements a regular feature of the country’s wrestling landscape.
