The men's team has already played their first match yesterday, where they achieved a 45-19 victory against Malaysia. Now, it remains to be seen whether the women's team can match up to the expectations as well.

Two gold medals have come from wrestling, with Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat clinching superiority in their respective categories.
