PUNE: Haryana reiterated their position as the premier wrestling powerhouse as they topped the Khelo India Youth Games in Pune on Sunday.

With 24 gold medals, 16 silver and 18 bronze, Haryana crossed the half century mark in wrestling alone leaving other states way behind. Maharashtra finished second. Such was Haryana’s dominance that they won more gold medals than all other states put together.

Though Delhi boys showed impressive performance on the first day in the Greco Roman category, winning nine medals including five gold medals, they failed to maintain the momentum and the winning streak and added just one gold medal later on.
