Commonwealth Games 2022: Tulika Maan bags Silver in Judo

Birmingham: India's Tulika Maan lost to a much experienced Sarah Adlington of Scotland in the women's 78kg division to bag a silver medal in judo at the Commonwealth Games at Victoria Park, Coventry on Wednesday night.

Tulika, who started defensively and had earned two cautions against the 2014 Games gold medallist, got a point when she managed to bring her opponent down. But the judoka from Scotland launched a superb attack and brought down Tulika to earn an Ippon to win the match with less than one minute remaining on the clock. This was a huge setback for the Indian judoka from New Delhi as she had reached Birmingham with lots of hope of winning her first major international gold medal. But it was not be as an Indian judoka had to once again had to settle for silver.
