    Senior Asian Wrestling Championships: The World U-23 champion Sujeet and Abhimanyou registered contrasting victories in their respective men’s freestyle final bouts to help India clinch two gold medals on the penultimate day of the 2026 Senior Asian Wrestling Championships in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Saturday.

    Sujeet, who has been unbeaten so far this year, totally dominated the men’s 65kg freestyle final against Umidjon Jalolov of Uzbekistan to register an 8-1 win and become the first Indian since Bajrang Punia’s 2019 triumph to win the Asian Championships gold medal in this weight category.

    Sujeet started slowly in the opening round as Jalolov held his ground and did not allow the Indian to attack. But the 23-year-old Indian was quick off the blocks at the start of the second round and went on to register his fifth victory over the Uzbek wrestler.
