Sachin Sahrawat and Harpreet Singh grabbed bronze medals today as India’s Greco-Roman contingent cherished its second best show at the Asian Wrestling Championships with five medals.

Competing in the 67kg category, Sahrawat dominated the bronze playoff, winning by fall against Uzbekistan’s Makhmud Bakhshilloev.

This was after he lost his quarterfinals bout in a similar manner to Meiirzhan Shermakhanbet from Kazakhstan. Singh (82kg) did not have to move a sinew in his medal bout as Qatar’s Jafar Khan M Khan did not take the mat due to an injury.

The medal-winning show from the two meant India ended up with five medals in the Greco-Roman event.

In the 2020 edition, India had won one gold and four bronze medals. On Tuesday, Sunil Kumar (87kg), Arjun Halakurki (55kg) and Neeraj (63kg) had won bronze medals. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
