India’s star wrestler Sakshi Malik won India’s second gold medal in the discipline at the Commonwealth Games 2022 when she defeated Canada’s Ana Gonzalez by pinfall in the women’s 62 kg category final in Birmingham on Friday. This was also India’s eighth gold medal at the ongoing quadrennial event.
Earlier Bajrang Punia confirmed the first wrestling gold in the men’s 65kg category right after Anshu Malik opened the medal account in the 57kg category. This also makes Sakshi the first Indian women wrestler to claim gold in the Birmingham Games. This was also the Rio Olympic bronze medallist’s first gold in the CWG as she earlier won a silver (2014 in 58kg) and bronze (2018 in 62kg).
