U23 World Champion Reetika Hooda Ready For Bigger Challenges After National Games
U23 World Championship: Reetika Hooda, India’s first women’s wrestler to win the U23 World Championship gold last week, had to fly directly to Goa for the 37th National Games. But instead of showing any signs of fatigue, the Rohtak resident was pumped up to prove a point as she stormed through every opponent to clinch the gold medal in the 76kg category on Wednesday evening.
Reetika, who moved to a higher weight category because the 72kg category is not part of the Olympics, is already thinking of qualifying for the Paris Games and felt that the National Games in Goa was a good opportunity for her to show that she can better the competition in India after the world Championship high.
“I have been competing with these girls for a while now. I have won at times and also lost. I came into this tournament with a mindset of winning gold. I was confident and that showed in my performance today,” said Reetika after winning the final against Divya Kakaran.
