#3 Wrestling (2 Gold, 1 Bronze)
Vinesh Phogat became the first Indian to win gold in women’s wrestling after she defeated Japan’s Yuki Irie 3-1.
Competing in the 50kg freestyle event, Phogat was tactically stronger than her rival and she romped away to a historical medal, thus ending the pain of missing out in the Rio Olympics after China’s Sun Yanan injured her two years ago. Incidentally, Yanan was Phogat’s first round opponent at Jakarta.
Bajrang Punia in the 65kg category was the other gold medallist in the sport as he raced away to convincing wins over all his rivals.
Divya Kakran. Wrestling in the 68kg weight category was a bronze medallist.
