CWG22: Indian wrestler Divya Kakran, who won the bronze medal in women's 68kg freestyle wrestling at Commonwealth Games 2022 was showered with garlands at Delhi Airport.
Navya Nanda reminded that amid the ongoing sports events like IPL and football leagues, they should not forget to cheer for Vinesh Phogat, Divya Kakran, Mirabai Chanu and Anshu Malik for their triumphs at the Asian Championship.
Ever since breaking on the international stage with a bronze medal at the 2017 Asian Wrestling Championships, Divya has maintained her stranglehold on the women's 68kg category in the country.
On a memorable day for the hosts, the Indian girls reached four out of five finals with Divya (68kg), Pinki (55kg) and Sarita (59kg) standing on top of the podium.
In a stunning display of power wrestling, Divya won all four bouts in five-wrestler 68kg category, as the competition was fought in the round-robin format.
Sushil had suffered an embarrassing first-round exit from the Asian Games and his participation was shrouded in doubt. While Divya has pulled out from the tournament due to an ankle injury.
During an interaction with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the Delhi Secretariat, the wrestler said the city government offered her help only after she won the medal, but no assistance came her way "at the time of need".
