A bronze, yes, but don’t let the color fool you. This is a massive leap for Indian combat sports. Hailing from a small village in Haryana, Suchika’s journey from judo to kurash to MMA shows how raw talent, when backed by grit, can rewrite records. She’s now eyeing gold; and given her past as a world champion in jiu-jitsu, she’s not just dreaming. Meanwhile, India’s shooting stars Himanshu Dhillon and Rudrankksh Patil added silver and bronze to the tally, while kabaddi and hockey squads stormed ahead. Six medals in two days; and the hunt for gold is on. One thing’s clear: this isn’t just about podiums. It’s about new faces, new disciplines, and new stories putting India on the global sports map.
