Five Indian women wrestlers qualify for Paris Olympics

After defeating Alexandra Anghel of Romania in the 68kg semifinals of the World Olympic Qualifiers held here on Friday, Nisha Dahiya became the fifth wrestler from India to earn a spot in the Paris Olympics.

For the first time ever, India will enter the biggest sporting event with five female wrestlers.

An Olympic fifer for India 🖐️!🚨

Paris berth have already been secured by four Indian women wrestlers. While Antim Panghal earned a bronze medal at the World Championships last year, securing an Olympic quota in the 53kg category, Vinesh Phogat (50 kg), Anshu Malik (57 kg), and Reetika Hooda (76 kg) secured their places for the country at the Asian Olympic Qualifiers in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan in March.

Nisha Dahiya defeats Anghel to qualify for Paris Olympics

Nisha, the silver medallist at the Asian Championships and bronze medallist in the World U-23, defeated Anghel 8–4 on points to go to the final and guarantee another Olympic berth for India.

Nisha’s flurry of attacks against Anghel propelled her to an 8-0 lead in the opening period. She attacked with her right leg to start, then turned it into a takedown. She easily outscored her opponent with a two-pointer after that, giving herself a comfortable 6-0 lead.

She had taken an unassailable 8-0 lead before the first period ended.

After a double-leg onslaught failed to result in points, the second period was all defense. The Romanian, a silver medallist from the European Championship, surprised Nisha by attacking and had her in some trouble.

In the final 55 seconds of the bout, Nisha did a good job of holding onto her lead.

Nisha had earlier advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Alina Shauchuk, a young competitor from Belarus who was participating independently, 3-0 on points.

After that, Nisha, 25, defeated the ninth-ranked wrestler from the Czech Republic Adela Hanzlickova, a multiple European Championship medallist on points 7-4 to advance to the semifinals against 58th-ranked wrestler Anghel.

Mansi (62kg) can also secure a Paris Olympics berth

Mansi (62 kg) had the task of facing a far stronger foe in eighth-ranked Belarusian Veranika Ivanova, who won by fall in the pre-quarterfinal round with 25 seconds left on the clock.

Through the repechage process, Mansi can still guarantee a spot in the bronze-medal round and aim to win an Olympic quota; however, Veranika must advance to the final in order to do so.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
