The Day 2 of the Rome Ranking Series event is proving to be magical for 18 year old Anshu Malik of India. After defeating the world champion Linda Morais in the last 16 bout Anshu once again proved her worth by sensationally defeating Grace Bullen of Norway in the last 3 seconds to enter semi-finals of the 57kg. Anshu was down 2-4 with just 6 seconds to end of the fight, but the Indian champion scored in the last seconds to pull her through to the last 4.

Earlier Anshu registered one of the biggest victory by the Indian wrestler on foreign soil. The champion from India stunned 59KG world champion Linda Morais in the quarterfinals of the UWW Rome Ranking Series. Linda won gold at Nur-Sultan world championships in 59kg but has moved to 57kg in order to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. 2019 Asian Junior Champion Anshu did not gave any chance to Linda and won the bout 8-3 by completely outshining her illustrious opponent. In the round 1, Anshu made a winning start in the 57kg as she defeated Maria Victoria Dilone of Spain 10-0. The Indian champ is making her debut in the senior category through this tournament.

Divya Kakran also won her opening round bout in the 68kg category as she defeated Luz Vazquez of Argentina in the opener. She will play against 2019 World bronze medallist Anna Carmen Schell of Germany for place in the last 4.

Sajan – Gurpreet also make it to the Semi-Finals

The three time age group world medallist Sajan is considered as one of the most promising Greco-Roman wrestlers of the country. The cadet and Junior world medallist justified the tag as he has entered the semi-finals of the 77kg category. In the quarterfinal bout Sajan defeated R.Zhang of China convincingly by 7-1. Sajan will now take on 2016 Under 23 European Champion Yunus Basar Emre of Turkey.

Sajan’s teammate Gurpreet also made it to the semi-finals of 82kg. Gurpreet registered comeback victory on Dmytro GARDUBEI of Ukraine after being down 1-10. The final scoreline of 18-10 in favor was nothing less than shocking. Gurpreet will be up against John Walter STEFANOWICZ JR of USA in the last 4 fight.

Sonam no match for Kilty of USA Like Anshu, Sonam also made her debut today in the senior category but lost out in the opening round itself. The two time cadet world champion Sonam made it to the Indian team after shocking Sakshi Malik in the WFI trials and was defeated by U23 World medallist Macey Ellen KILTY of USA 10-0.
