Anshu Malik will face off against the Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Helen Maroulis in the finals, as she hopes to emulate Sushil Kumar and clinch a historic gold medal at the World Wrestling Championships. Malik gained a 2-0 lead to start off against her Ukrainian opponent and doubled her advantage going into the break. She eventually clinched an 11-0 win, in a show of great offensive strength.
Four Indian women wrestlers have won medals at the Worlds and all of them — Geeta Phogat (2012), Babita Phogat (2012), Pooja Dhanda (2018) and Vinesh Phogat (2019) — have clinched bronze.
