Hansika Set for U23 World Championships Final in Serbia
Hansika, a young Indian wrestler, is set to compete in the final of the U23 World Championships in Serbia. She will face Haruna Morikawa of Japan in the 53kg category on Saturday. This is a significant achievement for Hansika, who previously struggled to qualify for the main rounds in 2024.
Hansika's journey in this championship has been impressive. She won all her matches with technical superiority, except for the pre-quarterfinal where she conceded two points. Her coach, Jasbir Singh, is confident that she can win the gold medal if she plays to her potential.
Hansika's grandmother, Savitri Devi, has played a crucial role in her wrestling career. She initiated Hansika into the sport and has been a constant source of support. The wrestler started her career in 2018 at the age of 12 and has since competed in various weight categories. She is currently training at the Sushil Kumar Academy.
Hansika is not the only Indian wrestler making waves at the championships. Another wrestler, Sarika, has also entered the final in the 59kg category. This is a testament to the growing prowess of Indian wrestling on the international stage.
Hansika's final match against Haruna Morikawa promises to be an exciting clash. With her coach's confidence and her grandmother's support, Hansika is poised to make history. Regardless of the outcome, her journey to the final is a remarkable achievement for the young Indian wrestler.
