Wrestling at Asian Games 2026: India’s full list of medal winners, medal tally, results

The Indian wrestlers remain in contention for several Asiad medals

The Asian Games 2026 are being held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, from September 19 to October 4. Wrestling has always been a fruitful sport for India in terms of medals, and the country has sent a strong 15-member contingent to the ongoing continental tournament.

Having begun their Aichi-Nagoya Games campaign on September 30, the Indian wrestlers immediately delivered results.

Sunil Kumar won back-to-back bronze medals in the men’s Greco-Roman 87kg event at the Asian Games. He beat the Philippines’ Callum Johnston Roberts to finish third, adding to the bronze he won at the Hangzhou 2022 Games.

There were a couple of setbacks in the Greco-Roman contingent, as both Sumit Dalal and Aman Baroniya were knocked out in the quarter-finals. However, young Nitesh Siwach claimed a silver medal in the men’s 97kg event, losing to Japan’s Yuri Nakazato in the final.

In women’s freestyle wrestling, Mansi Ahlawat failed to clinch her first Asian Games medal, losing to Mongolia’s Altjin Togtokh 5-2 in the 62kg final. Other star wrestlers, including Antim Panghal and Priya Malik, will also compete later.

The men’s freestyle squad is headlined by Paris 2024 Olympics bronze medallist Aman Sehrawat, who is competing in the 57kg event. He will look to improve upon his bronze-winning performance at the Hangzhou 2022 Games.

Deepak Punia, who won silver in the previous Asian Games edition, is competing in the 97kg event. Sujeet Kalkal will compete in the 65kg event.
