Nikita won the silver medal in the women’s 62kg category, while Neha clinched a bronze in 57kg as India finished overall second with five medals at the U20 Wrestling World Championships here.

Nikita, a gold medalist at the U20 Asian Championships last year, went down 1-4 to Ukrainian wrestler Iryna Bondar in the final. Fresh from her gold medal at the U17 World Championships last month, Neha claimed a bronze, overpowering Gerda Terek of Hungary 10-8.

In last year’s edition in Amman, India had bagged four gold, three silver and seven bronze medals.
