Indian Greco-Roman contingent who failed to grab even a single medal at the last championships held in Almaty Kazakhstan in 2021 will have a chance to grab four on the day 1 of the championships.
on the first day of the competition India had five wrestlers competing to go deep in the draw. However it was a dissapointing performance as three wrestlers failed to win even one match. Only Sunil GR87 , 2019 runner-up and Arjun GR55 managed to win one match each. Neeraj GR63 and Sajan GR77 got lucky that the oppenent they lost to eventually made it to the finals.

The only wrestler who will not be featuring in the evening medal rounds is Prem who competed in the GR130 category and lost in the qualification round itself to the Iranian. Iranian himself couldnt make it to the next round and thus ending the campaign for Prem.
