Suchika Tariyal becomes India's first Asian Games MMA medallist at 36
Suchika Tariyal, a 36-year-old fighter from Rohtak, has made history as India's first Asian Games MMA medallist. Her martial arts journey began at age 12 when she took up judo as a means of self-defence after being eve-teased. A former eight-time national judo champion, she progressed through judo, Ju-Jitsu, and MMA over the years. She secured her landmark medal by defeating Mongolia's Altanchimeg Baigalmaa 2-0 to advance to the -60kg semifinals. Tariyal hopes her story will encourage more young women to pursue martial arts and sports.
