Wrestler Bajrang Punia wins gold, India continues to shine at CWG 2022

Star wrestler Bajrang Punia won India's first gold in wrestling at the Commonwealth Games 2022. This is Bajrang's second consecutive gold medal in the Commonwealth Games. India has got seven gold medals so far and the number of medals has reached 22. Bajrang defeated Lachlan McNeil of Canada 9-2 in the final. Bajrang, the bronze medalist of the Tokyo Olympics, made it to the final with a technical superiority (10-0) win over George Ram of England.

Defending champion Bajrang reached the semi-finals in the men's freestyle 65kg event with a 6-0 victory over Mauritius' Jean-Guilliane Joris Bandeau in just a minute. It took them less than two minutes to reach the quarterfinals, which saw them drop Nauru's Lowe Bingham in the opening round to register an easy 4–0 win. Bajrang took a minute to understand his opponent and then suddenly ended the match by slamming Bigham from a 'clapping' position. Bingham did not realize this sudden bet and the Indian wrestler easily won.
