In a standout showing at the Under-17 World Championships, India's women wrestlers secured four gold medals, with at least two more athletes vying for top honors.

Aditi Kumari (43kg), Neha (57kg), Pulkit (65kg), and Mansi Lather (73kg) showed remarkable skill and determination as they clinched world titles with ease. Additionally, Kajal (69kg) and Shrutika Shivaji Patil (46kg) are set to compete for gold on Friday, having reached the finals.

India's chances of bagging more medals remain high as Raj Bala (40kg) will compete in the bronze play-off, while Muskan (53kg) and Rajnita (61kg) are still in contention for podium finishes through the repechage round. Impressively, India is poised to win the women's team trophy, even without a contender in the 49kg weight class.
