Fact Check: Indian Wrestler Priya Malik wins Gold Medal at 2021 World Cadet Wrestling Championships and NOT in Olympics 

New Delhi: Indian wrestler Priya Malik has won a gold medal at the 2021 World Cadet Wrestling Championships.

She won gold in the 73kg world cadet wrestling championship by beating Belarus 5-0.

This comes a day after Mirabai Chanu won silver yesterday at the Toky Olympics 2020.

However, she was even mistaken for winning gold at Olympics.
