Nagpur: Haryana wrestlers edged out Maharashtra in both the Freestyle and Greco-Roman categories to finish the Chief Minister's Cup U-15 National Wrestling Championship on top of the table at the indoor stadium of Divisional Sports Complex in Mankapur on Sunday.
On the concluding day of the nationals, Maharashtra girls clinched just two gold medals in the freestyle category, as the boys in the Greco-Roman event missed the yellow metal in all 10 weight categories. Despite failing to win a gold medal, Maharashtra Greco-Roman wrestlers finished second, collecting 147 points. Haryana finished on top of the table with 157 points, while Rajasthan came third with 116 points.
In the girls' freestyle group, Haryana edged out Maharashtra by nine points (171-161).
Delhi, with 139 points, finished third. Similarly, in the boys' freestyle event, Haryana (155) outclassed Maharashtra (137) by 18 points. The couple of gold medals that Maharashtra won on the concluding day came in the girls' freestyle category.
Rohini Khanu Devba of Kolhapur and Gayatri Shinde from a small town in Pune district won the face-saving gold medals for Maharashtra. In the girls' 36kg final, Rohini prevailed over Karnataka's Sushmita Kammar 10-0, while Gayatri outplayed Shrasti Kumar from Delhi in the 42kg weight category.

Later, in the concluding ceremony, President of Maharashtra Wrestling Association and former MP Ramdas Tadas, President of the organising committee and MLC Sandip Joshi, Hindkesri Yogesh Dhoke, NMC sports officer Piyush Ambulkar, and other WFI officials distributed the prizes.
