There is an atmosphere of happiness and joy at the residence of Indian wrestler Mohit Kumar, who clinched a gold medal at the U20 World Wrestling Championships in Jordan on Wednesday. Mohit Kumar created history after winning the U20 World Wrestling Championships. He defeated Eldar Akhmadudinov 9-8 in a 61 kg freestyle event in Jordan. Mohit Kumar's mother said he took initial steps in wrestling when he was in primary school. "We are happy. The entire village and the country is happy. He started going for wrestling training when he was in class II or III,” she said.
Mohit Kumar on Wednesday became the first Indian wrestler to win junior world champion since 2019 after edging past Russia's Eldar Akhmaduninov in the 61kg final while Priya lined herself up to be country's only second woman grappler to grab the title. Mohit was trailing 0-6 in the final but the Russian, who is competing as an individual athlete, lost steam as the bout progressed and the Indian took full advantage to reel off nine straight points.
