The seasoned duo of Saurav Ghosal and Joshana Chinappa expectedly walked away with the individual gold medals in squash even as Haryana’s wrestlers demolished their rivals to sign off with a whopping 18 gold on the fourth day of competitions in the 35th National Games here on Wednesday.
Haryana grapplers’ dominant show continued and the State notched up five gold medals on the day. Rajendra Kumar claimed the men’s 59kg Greco-Roman gold after beating Delhi’s Ravinder. The bronze-medallists in this event were Maharashtra’s Vikram Krushant and Chhattisgarh’s Nitin.
Another gold for Haryana came from Amit Dhankar, who beat SSCB’s Arun to emerge champion in the men’s 70kg freestyle final. Yogesh (80kg Greco roman), Anita Sheoran (63kg freestyle) and Priyanka (53kg freestyle) added to the tally, helping the side to sign off.
