Roshibina Devi advances to the women’s 60kg wushu sanda final at the Asian Games. She wins her semi-final on Wednesday, beating Indonesia’s Thania Kusumaningtyas 2-0 at the Aichi Prefectural Martial Arts Hall. Her next match is scheduled for Thursday against China’s Zhang Xiaoyu, with a gold medal at stake.
Both reports note that Devi is 25 and that her presence in the Games comes through a late change in India’s squad. She is not initially part of the team; she enters after Divyanshi sustains an injury, which creates an opening in the squad. With the final now set, her path includes a one-fight separation from the title match, as the competition moves to the gold-medal bout.
