Ronak Dahiya won the bronze medal in the 110 kg Greco-Roman category at the ongoing U-17 World Wrestling Championships, defeating Turkey's Emrullah Capkan 6-1 on Tuesday. It is India's first medal in this edition of the tournament.
Ronak, who lost to Hungary's Zoltan Czako in the semi-final, is currently ranked second in the world in his age-group weight category.
The gold medal in this category was claimed by Ukraine's Ivan Yankovskyi, who defeated Czako 13-4 by technical superiority (13-4).
India has the opportunity to win a second medal in the 51 kg repechage if Sainath Pardhi succeeds in winning two bouts.
Pardhi's first opponent is Dominic Michael Munaretto from the United States. If he emerges victorious, he will then compete in the bronze medal play-off against the winner of the bout between Sargis Harutyunan of Armenia and Iuri Chapidze of Georgia.
