Antim Panghal created history after she became the first-ever Indian woman wrestler to win the gold at U-20 World Wrestling Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Antim defeated Atlyn Shagayeva of Kazakhstan 8-0 in 53kg category gold medal match to achieve this feat.
This gold medal is historic in its own ways as India has never won any gold medal in women's wrestling at U20 World Championships.
Sonam Malik and Priyanka won silver medals in 62 kg and 65 kg respectively after losing the gold medal bouts.
India won a total of 6 bronze medals and 1 silver in Men's freestyle category finishing 3rd in team rankings. In Women's freestyle, India has one gold, three silver and one bronze.
