Wrestler Anshu settles for silver

Anshu Malik

Indian woman wrestler Anshu Malik could not match the skills of her 21-year-old Chinese rival Kexin Hong in the final, bowing out tamely to settle for a silver in the 57kg category of the Budapest Ranking Series.

Competing against the No.1 ranked Chinese, Anshu lost 1-12 on technical superiority against the Hangzhou Asian Games bronze medallist in the 53kg category. India's Antim Panghal had earlier fought hard to settled for a silver in the 53kg category, while Vinesh Phogat lost to Jiang Zhu of China 0-5 in the 50kg quarter-finals.
