Pincky Balhara wins bronze at Aichi-Nagoya, becomes India's only multi-medal Kurash athlete
Indian wrestler Pincky Balhara claimed a bronze medal in the women's -78kg Kurash event at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. This adds to her silver medal won in the women's -52kg category at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, making her India's sole multiple medallist in the discipline.

Kurash, a Central Asian martial art closely related to judo, made its Asian Games debut at the 2018 Jakarta edition.
