Pincky Balhara and Malaprabha Yallappa Jadhav claim silver and bronze respectively in Women’s 52kg
India on Tuesday bagged two medals in Kurash, a form of wrestling indigenous to central Asia, with Pincky Balhara and Malaprabha Yallappa Jadhav winning silver and bronze respectively in the Women’s 52kg category at the ongoing Asian Games here.
The 19-yeard-old Pincky lost 0-10 to favourite Gulnor Sulaymanova of Uzbekistan in the gold medal clash to win the silver.
Pincky earlier defeated Tsou Chiawen of Taipei 5-0 in Round of 16 before getting the better of Susanti Terry Kusumawardani of Sri Lanka 3-0 in the quarterfinals. She beat Abdumajidova Oysuluv of Uzbekistan 1-0 in the last four stage.
Earlier in the day, Yallappa lost to Sulaymanova 0-10 in the semi-final to claim the bronze as both the semifinalists are assured of medals.
Kurash is a form of folk wrestling in which the competitors use towels to hold their opponents with an aim to throw them off the feet.
It is making its debut at the Asian Games.
No money for kits
How Balhara got to the Asian Games is a fascinating story. The team had to go to Uzbekistan for a 20-day training camp ahead of the Games and help came from her village.
“People in my village pooled in Rs 1.75 lakh to send me to the training camp. They all have supported me a lot. I am forever indebted to them,” a teary-eyed Balhara told PTI.
It is a remarkable effort from the girls in a sport that is almost unheard of in India. Questions were raised about the team’s participation at the Games and the Indian Olympic Association had said the athletes would have to pay for their kits as they come from a non-recognised Kurash Association of India (KAI).
KAI is not even recognised by the Sports Ministry but after today’s outcome, that could soon be a reality.
“The Sports Minister (Rajyavardhan Rathore) met us in the morning and has promised to recognise us very soon,” KAI secretary Ravi Kapoor, who is here as a technical official, said.
Most of the 14 members in the kurash squad come from a judo background as the two sports are very similar. Kurash, a sport popular in Central Asia, is played while standing while one can also push the opponent to the ground in judo.
Both Balhara and Jadhav have won judo medals in international competitions and they were instant medal prospects at the Games. As most of the team members could not afford the kit worth Rs 35,000, they arranged money to buy at least the jersey and track suit.
Mr. Rathore, however, has already assured all expenses of the non-recognised federations would be borne by the ministry.
Balhara, hailing from Neb Sarai village in Delhi, also had to go through the loss of her father three months ago. Working in Delhi Jal Board, her father suddenly died of a heart attack. He was only 42.
“I am reminded of his words after I got selected for the team in February. He said ‘you will win silver, not gold’ That is exactly what happened today,” she said.
Jadhav is one of the four daughters of a farmer based in Belgaum. She too had to fund herself to reach here.

Another Uzbek Shukhrat Jon Arslanov who bagged the gold medal in the 5th Asian Indoor Games along with the World Kurash Senior Championship silver medalist Hamed Rashidi of Iran will fight for the gold in their -90 kg category.

The 2017 Asian Indoor Games champions Gulnara Suleymanova and Chinese Tapei's Yu-Erh Cheng will go into the tournament as the favourites to win the gold medal in the -52kg and -63kg category respectively.

Indian Team for the Asian Games Kurash 2018
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) announced a 12-member contingent to contest in the folk wrestling style at the 2018 Asian Games. The team consists of six men and six women wrestlers.
India has been impressive in the recent years at the Asian Level. Especially after winning one gold, two silver and 13 bronze in the 2018 Senior Asian Championships, India is expected to bag a few medals in the 2018 Asian Games.
Among the men participants, Manish Tokas and Parikshit Kumar are likely to finish on the podium in the -81kg and 90+kg category respectively. In the -52kg women’s category, India's hopes are pinned on Pinky Balhara to bag a medal in Jakarta-Palembang.
