Senior Asian Wrestling Championships: Meenakshi Goyat added the third silver medal to India’s tally in the women’s 53kg category, while three of the five men’s freestyle wrestlers in action on Friday sealed their spots in the gold medal bout of their respective weight category in the 2026 Senior Asian Wrestling Championships in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

Monika (women’s 65kg) and Harshita (women’s 72kg) then signed off with bronze medals to take India’s overall medals tally into double figures – three silver and seven bronze.

India’s sole gold medal hope on Friday rested on Meenakshi, who had fought back from the brink in the semi-finals to reach this far. However, the 25-year-old was not at her best on Friday and went down 10-0 against China’s Jin Zhang.
