WFI President Sanjay Kumar Singh: The Indian Under-17 wrestlers bagged five medals, including three gold, but finished outside the top three in the overall standings at the ongoing Under-17 Asian Wrestling Championships in Vung Tau, Vietnam, on Thursday.

The Indian Freestyle contingent secured a total of five medals, including 3 gold and 2 bronze, showcasing grit, determination, and technical excellence. Although the team narrowly missed finishing in the top three rankings overall and did not clinch a team trophy, the performance of individual athletes, particularly in the heavier weight categories, was exceptional and praiseworthy.

The gold medals were won by Gaurav Punia in the 65 kg class, Arjun Ruhil in 92 kg, and Lacky in 110kg. Shivam, in the 45kg category, and Dhanraj Ganapati, in the 51 kg category, won the two bronze medals.
