Second Worlds medal for Antim
Hindustan Times Delhi
|September 19, 2025
Mixing strong defence with measured attack, wrestler Antim Panghal won her second World Championship medal with a dominating 9-1 victory over U23 World Champion Emma Jonna Denise Malmgren in the bronze playoff here Thursday, ensuring that the Indian contingent won't return empty-handed from the Croatian capital.
Since the first day of competition, the Indian wrestlers have looked a hapless lot following Aman Sehrawat's shock disqualification, but Antim made sure that the country’s medal winning tradition at the prestigious tournament continued.
The 21-year-old had won a bronze in the 2023 edition as well but she faced not just a heartbreaking first round exit at the 2024 Olympic Games but also some off-field controversy.
Malmgren is a very aggressive wrestler but Antim stood her defence, never letting the Swede gain any momentum.
