Last year, Hooda made history by becoming the first Indian woman to win a gold medal at the U-23 World Championships, defeating the USA’s Kennedy Blades in the final. She also holds bronze medals from the senior Asian Championships and the Under-20 World Championships in the 72kg category.
Earlier on Friday, Aman Sehrawat won India’s first wrestling medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, securing a bronze with a 13-5 victory over Puerto Rico’s Darian Cruz. India’s medal tally now stands at six, just short of the seven medals earned at Tokyo 2020.
