Roshibina enters Asiad wushu final; eyes gold
- On Thursday, Naorem Roshibina Devi clinched a silver medal in the women's 60kg wushu final at the Asian Games, losing 0-2 to China's Zhang Xiaoyu at the Aichi Prefectural Martial Arts Hall.
- The 25-year-old Roshibina joined the team on September 10 as a replacement for Divyanshi Choudhary, who withdrew due to an ACL injury, leaving her with minimal training time before competing.
- Judges awarded unanimous 5-0 decisions favoring the Chinese athlete in both rounds, yet this silver marks Roshibina's third consecutive Asian Games medal, following bronze in 2018 and silver in 2023.
- Her silver brings India's overall medal count to 14 at the ongoing Games. "I could not give the gold medal to the Indian people," Roshibina said after the bout, expressing disappointment.
- Despite the selection dispute surrounding her late September 10 entry, Roshibina plans to learn from her mistakes and improve for upcoming Games, focusing on countering the technical aggression she faced.
