Roshibina Devi advanced to the women’s 60kg Sanda final at the 2026 Asian Games after defeating Indonesia’s Thania Kusumaningtyas on points over two rounds in the semifinal at Aichi Budokan, Nagoya, on September 23. The 25-year-old has now become the first Indian Wushu athlete to reach the Asian Games final twice. She previously contested the gold-medal bout at the 2023 Hangzhou Games, where she lost to China’s Wu Xiaowei. Roshibina now has another opportunity to fight for gold and potentially become the first Indian to win an Asian Games gold medal in Wushu. Her latest victory has secured India at least a silver medal in the women’s 60kg Sanda event overall. (PC: X)
