India's Sajan Bhanwala won the bronze medal at the Under-23 World Wrestling Championship (77kg event) in Spain on Wednesday. He became the first-ever Indian to win a medal in Greco-Roman wrestling, a form that allows the wrestlers to use only their upper body. In the bronze-medal match, Bhanwala beat Dmytro Vastesky to script history.
