#4 Kurash
One sport that really stood out from India’s perspective was Kurash, where the women in particular impressed with their strong defence against athletes from Uzbekistan, the powerhouses in the sport.
Pincky Balhara walked away with a silver medal, defeating opponents from Chinese Taipei, Indonesia and Uzbekistan en route the finals before she went down fighting in the 52kg category.
Malaprabha Jadhav, fighting in the same category too defeated higher-ranked opponents before she was defeated by Sulaymanova in the semis, the same wrestler who defeated Balhara in the finals.
Kurash, a martial art that aims to throw opponents on their back without grappling below the waist made its debut in the Asian Games. Each bout lasts for four minutes for men and three minutes for women.
Two other Indians, Danish Sharma and Megha Tokas had entered the quarters but were unable to assure themselves of medals, bowing out in the top-eight.
