Satnam Singh defeating champions from heavier weight classes is no joke! That's real skill over brute force. Pro Panja League is doing a great job promoting the sport. Jai Haryana!

Good event, but the article mentions the same Anil Sharma winning the 85kg and also being youth Champion of Champions? A bit confusing. Maybe a typo or there are two athletes with the same name? Otherwise, great coverage.

Fascinating to read about the sports culture in Haryana. The connection between local tournaments and a professional league like Pro Panja is a great model for athlete development. Congrats to all winners!

Over 250 athletes! That's massive participation. Hope this inspires kids in schools to take up armwrestling as a serious sport. We need more indoor stadiums like the one in Palwal across other districts too.
