He has not only made a spectacular comeback with this time medal, but also proved his strong position in Indian wrestling.

Another Indian became after Vinesh Phogat Final Panghal Vinesh has become the second Indian woman wrestler after Phogat, who has won more than one medal in the World Championship. Other Indian women wrestlers like Alka Tomar, Geeta Phogat, Babita Phogat, Pooja Dhanda, Sarita Mor and Anshu Malik are only one World Championship medal.

Disappointing performance of Greco-Roman wrestlers The performance of Indian Greek-Roman wrestlers in this championship was very disappointing. On Thursday, the four wrestlers who came in the field could neither win any match nor score points. The most shocking defeat was Anil More in the 55kg category, which was defeated by Aldaniz Azizali of World No-1 Azerbaijan with technical superiority in just 13 seconds. Azizali trapped Anil in the headlock and finished the match. After Azizali lost in the semi -finals, Anil did not even get a chance to repeaches. Similarly, Aman in the 77 kg category lost to Nao Kusaka in Japan on the basis of technical superiority. Although Aman got a chance to reproduce when Kusaka reached the final, he was also out of Ukraine’s Ihor Batchkov.
