Indian wrestler Vishvajit More makes history at the U23 World Wrestling Championships in Las Vegas by winning the men’s 55kg Greco-Roman silver medal. More reaches the final and narrowly loses 12-13 to Georgia’s Koba Karumidze, after earlier wins in the round of 16, quarterfinal and semifinal stages.
Several outlets note that More already holds two previous U23 World Championship bronze medals. In the women’s Greco-Roman events, Komal and Diksha Malik remain in contention for bronze after results in their respective semifinal and quarterfinal bouts. Other Indian wrestlers in Greco-Roman are unable to reach the medal round, including Chetan and Karan Kamboj.
Times of India adds a separate context point, reporting that nine Indian wrestlers are denied US visas, which raises concerns about India’s overall medal prospects at the championships. Other sources focus primarily on More’s achievement and the status of India’s remaining competitors.
