CWG 2022: Judoka Shushila Devi wins silver in women's 48kg

Commonwealth Games on Monday. In a tight contest, Shushila fought hard before losing the final via 'Waza-Ari' in 4.25 minutes. It was the Indian's second silver medal at the showpiece. She had finished runners-up at the 2014 Glasgow Games as well.

Earlier, Shushila had assured the country of a medal after progressing to the final, beating Priscilla Morand of Mauritius. The 27-year-old from Manipur took down Morand with an 'Ippon' to set up a gold medal clash with Michaela Whitebooi of South Africa. Ippon is a move in which a contestant throws his opponent to the mat with considerable force and speed so that the opponent lands on his back. An ippon is also awarded when a contestant immobilizes his opponent with a grappling hold-down for 20 seconds, or when an opponent gives up. A sub-inspector with Manipur Police, Shushila had progressed to the quarterfinals with a win over Harriet Bonface of Malawi earlier in the day.
