Senior Asian Wrestling Championships: Two-time national champion Meenakshi Goyat staged a stunning comeback to defeat South Korea’s Seoyoung Park and enter the women’s 53kg final, while Hansika Lamba (55kg) and Neha (59kg) secured bronze medals for India at the Senior Asian Wrestling Championships in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Thursday.
Meenakshi, who earned her place in the Indian squad by defeating two-time World Championships bronze medallist Antim Panghal, was trailing 0-2 until the closing 30 seconds of her semifinal bout.
