India’s Greco-Roman wait goes on as Nitesh Siwach claims silver at Asian Games 2026
India’s long search for a Greco-Roman wrestling Asian Games champion continued on Wednesday after Nitesh Siwach settled for silver, falling just short in a disciplined but ultimately decisive final. The result extended a frustrating pattern for Indian Greco-Roman wrestling even as the broader Indian contingent enjoyed strong momentum across the Games, including a narrow 4-3 hockey win over Pakistan and a commanding 124-run cricket victory over Sri Lanka.
