“Pioneering Gold Medal Wins by Indian Wrestlers at the Asian Games”

Here’s a cleaned-up and slightly expanded version of those key facts for clarity:

Kartar Singh

First Indian wrestler to win a gold medal at the Asian Games

1986 Seoul Asian Games

100 kg category (Freestyle)

He also won a silver medal at the 1982 Asiad and became a dominant force in heavyweight wrestling during the 1980s.

Yogeshwar Dutt

Ended a 28-year gold medal drought in wrestling for India at the Asian Games

2014 Incheon Asian Games

65 kg Freestyle

His win was especially significant as it reaffirmed India’s position in Asian wrestling after decades without a top-podium finish in men’s freestyle.
