Dipanshi Brings Character and Curiosity to Asian Games Wrestling

Dipanshi is a 17-year-old wrestler from India.

She will compete at the Asian Games in the 50kg class.

This is her first major senior international competition.

She says she feels some nervousness, but she is mostly excited to learn from experienced wrestlers.

Her coach says that once a match begins, juniors and seniors compete on equal terms.

Dipanshi likes to attack from the beginning of a bout.

She admires wrestlers such as Vinesh Phogat and Antim Panghal but wants to create her own identity.

Her coaches and parents also teach her that being a good person is more important than winning.

She prepared carefully and skipped another trial to reduce injury risk before the Asian Games.
