Young Suraj Vashishth showcased his potential in his senior World Championship debut, advancing to the 60kg quarterfinals before exiting the competition. Despite the early exit, Vashishth's victories against Angel Tellez and Victor Ciobanu provided his coaches something to be optimistic about.
Vashishth, who had previously won a bronze at the U20 World Championships and a gold at the U20 Asian Championships, is seen as a promising talent in the wrestling world. His triumph in Bishkek ended a six-year wait for gold for India on an international level, reflecting his capabilities.
Meanwhile, other Indian wrestlers faced stiff competition. Ankit Gulia, competing in the 72kg category, and Nitesh in the 97kg, both bowed out after initial rounds, while Antim Panghal managed to secure a bronze medal in the ongoing championships.
