Great to see Deputy CM Diya Kumari supporting the event. More politicians should attend youth sports like this instead of just cricket matches. The Greco-Roman bouts were particularly intense today!

The article could use more details about the actual matches - some of these bouts must have been nail-biters! But great coverage overall. Shoutout to all the bronze medalists too - they don't get enough recognition.

As a wrestling coach, I appreciate the detailed results but wish there was more technical analysis. Still, great to see grassroots wrestling getting coverage! The 12-hour schedule shows these kids' dedication 💪
