India has secured medals in both disciplines, with wrestler Nitesh Siwach reaching the Greco-Roman 97kg final. Meanwhile, India's freestyle coach Shako Bentinidis urges wrestlers Sujeet Kalkal and Aman Sehrawat to adopt more aggressive tactics to enhance their medal prospects in their respective weight categories.
