Indian wrestler Ravi Dahiya is aiming to bring home a medal each from the 2022 CWG and the 2022 Asian Games, after claiming a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics earlier this year. The wrestler recently pulled out of the 2021 World Wrestling Championships, due to lack of preparation time.

Tokyo Olympian Anshu Malik created history by reaching the final of the women’s 57kg category at the 2021 World Wrestling Championships, in Oslo, Norway, on Wednesday. The grappler became the first-ever women’s wrestler to achieve the feat, having assured herself of at least a silver medal.
