Asian Games: Antim, Nisha Dahiya, Mansi Ahlawat Lead India's Wrestling Squad As WFI Women's Trials End In Delhi
Indira Gandhi Stadium: The Indian women's wrestling squad for the upcoming Asian Games 2026 took definitive shape on Saturday as the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) concluded its highly anticipated selection but controversial trials at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi.
Top grapplers, including Antim, Nisha Dahiya, Manisha, Mansi Ahlawat, Dipanshi, and Priya, delivered commanding performances on the mat to win gold in their respective weight categories, booking their spots to headline a formidable national team.
The women's 53kg weight class ended up as the most controversial, with Olympian wrestler Vinesh Phogat losing a contentious bout to Meenakshi Goyat in the semifinals. Vinesh and her husband, Somvir, raised questions over refereeing in the match and said they felt "cheated".
