Sakshi malik, Divya kakran and Mansi ahlawat win gold medals

Rio Olympics bronze medallist Sakshi Malik won her first international gold medal in almost five years at the Bolat Turlykhanov Cup wrestling tournament- a UWW Ranking Series event - at Almaty in Kazakhstan on Friday. India’s Mansi Ahlawat and Divya Kakran also finished at the top of the podium in their respective weight categories. Sakshi Malik began with a win by technical superiority against Kazakhstan’s Irina Kuznetsova and followed that up with a 9-3 win over Uzbekistan’s Rushana Abdirasulova. As Mongolia’s Tserenchimed Sukhee forfeited her semifinal, Sakshi entered the final, where she pinned Irina Kuznetsova while leading 7-4, beating the home wrestler for a second time in the day.
