An elated Minakshi thanked her coach Vijay Hooda, ITBP, SAI, OGQ and BFI for their constant support. She said the roaring home crowd boosted her morale and helped her secure the decisive victory.

Preeti continued the winning streak by defeating Italy’s Sirine Charaabi 5-0 in the women’s 54 kg category. Arundhati Choudhary added India’s third gold of the day with a strong 5-0 win over Uzbekistan’s Zokirova Aziza in the 70 kg final.
