Key Highlights
- The event, now in its second edition, will be held at Sri Krishna Singh Memorial Stadium in Jamui, following the success of the inaugural edition in Begusarai last year.
- A total of 186 wrestlers, 162 men and 24 women, have registered for the competition so far, with registrations set to end on Friday midnight.
- The event will feature five weight categories for men – 50-60 kg, 60-70 kg, 70-80 kg, 80-90 kg, and 90 kg and above – and two for women: 50-60 kg, and 60 kg and above.
- The top three winners will receive cash prizes of ₹1 lakh, ₹50,000, and ₹25,000 respectively, while the best wrestler at the event will be awarded a coveted silver mace.
- Crafted in 1954, the mace has become a symbol of excellence in the sport since it was presented to wrestler Vishwanath Singh in 1975 on being conferred with the ‘Bihar Kesari’ title.
