 "Asian Wrestling Championships: India's Radhika assured of medal after reaching 68kg final")
India’s Radhika is assured of at least a silver as she reached the 68kg final on Saturday at the senior Asian Championships. Radhika, who won a silver at the U23 Asian Championships last year and also finished second at the senior Asian Championships in 2022, put up a dominant show in her weight category. She won the first bout by technical superiority against Kazakhstan’s Albina Kairgeldinova and then pinned Kyrgyzstan’s Gulnura Tashtanbekova.
She will now face Japan’s Nonoka Ozaki in the gold medal bout.
Shivani Pawar (50kg) lost her quarterfinal ‘by fall’ to Ziqi Feng but made it to the bronze medal round after the Chinese entered the final.
In 55kg, Tamanna lost her qualification round by a comprehensive 0-9 margin to Moe Kiyooka but since the Japanese reached the final, the Indian bounced back into medal contention.
Pushpa Yadav (59kg) and Priya (76kg) also have a chance to end on the podium as their vanquishers also reached the finals to open the doors for them.
