Teenage wrestler Yashita dug deep into her reserves of energy to overcome a gritty Kazakh opponent and clinch the girls 61kg gold on a day when six Indian boxers sailed into the final to assure the country of half-a-dozen medals in the Youth Asian Games in Bahrain on Tuesday. In an extremely keenly-contested bout, Yashita, 17, defeated Kazakhstan's Zhaidar Muktar on the basis of the final point scored after the two were tied at 5-all.
