Asiad 2018: Pincky bags silver, Malaprabha settles for bronze in kurash

India's Pinky Balhara clinched silver, while Malaprabha Jadav settled for bronze in the women's 52-kilogram category of the kurash competition at the 2018 Asian Games here on Tuesday.

Pincky was outclassed 0-10 by world and Asian champion Gulnor Sulaymanova of Uzbekistan in the final.

Gulnor dominated the final, pulling off a halal, which ended the bout.

Gulnor had earlier thrashed Malaprabha 10-0 in the semi-finals.

Significantly, kurash, a traditional central Asian form of wrestling has been included in the Asian Games.

Earlier on Tuesday morning, India's Jatin progressed to the Round of 16 of the kurash competition with a 1-0 victory over South Korea's Hee Jun Choi in the men's 66 kg category.

He, however, crashed after losing 0-3 to Taiwan's Haocheng Chan in the pre-quarters.

Meanwhile, Jacky Gahlot, suffered a 0-10 loss at the hands of Mongolia's Batsuuri Adiya in the same event.
