    World Wrestling Olympic Qualifiers: Woman wrestler Nisha Dahiya claimed a quota place for India for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in the 68kg category at the World Wrestling Olympic Qualifiers here on Friday. She reached the final in the women's 68kg freestyle category to secure her ticket to Paris.

She joins Antim Panghal (53kg), Vinesh Phogat (50kg), Anshu Malik (57kg) and Reetika Hooda (76kg) as other Indians to have won Olympic quotas so far. No Greco-Roman wrestler could manage to bag a quota place in what is the final opportunity to gain Olympic berths.
