NEW DELHI: Fresh from creating history at the U-20 World Wrestling Championships in Amman, Jordan, teenage wrestler Antim Panghal has set her sights on winning a medal at the upcoming World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia and then the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. In Jordan, Antim became the first Indian female wrestler to win back-to-back U-20 titles.
"My focus now is to prepare for the World championships trials. If I cross that hurdle, then I can try and win a medal for the country at the main event in Belgrade. Then comes the Asian Games. I got a lucky break after Vineshdi pulled out due to injury. I will try to make full use of the opportunity by getting a medal at an event of such magnitude," Antim told TOI on the sidelines of a felicitation ceremony organised for the U-20 Worlds medal winners at the JLN Stadium here on Sunday.
