A boy from Gwalior created record by winning a gold medal in the Asian Championship held in Dubai in a domineering style.
Three arm wrestlers (Panja Pehalwan) had gone to participate in the Asian Championship of Arm Wrestling held in Dubai on behalf of Gwalior Arm Wrestling Welfare Association. In the 70 kg weight category of the championship, Niranjan Gurjar from the Divyang category performed brilliantly and won the gold medal.
International level claw wrestlers from eight countries had showed their mettle in the competition. Niranjan defeated all of them and won the medal.
Congratulating Niranjan on this achievement, Gwalior Arm Wrestling Welfare Association president Keshav Pandey said that Gwalior is becoming a hub of arm wrestling in the whole country.
Pandey further said that the state government is encouraging claw wrestlers by giving jobs to the players who win medals in the country and abroad and this is creating more interest for the game.
Association Secretary Deepak Tomar, Director of Arm Wrestling Academy Manish Kumar and coaches Manoj Patel and Sheru Classic congratulated the gold medal winner.
