Manisha Bhanwala Becomes First-Ever Indian Women's Wrestling World Champion

Manisha Bhanwala has made history as the first Indian woman to win a gold medal at the Wrestling World Championship in Astana. Despite starting the sport at age 17 to improve fitness and overcoming height and weight-category challenges, she achieved this milestone. Bhanwala is now only the second Indian overall to secure a gold medal in the Wrestling World Championship, emulating the 2010 achievement of her idol, two-time Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar.
