India will have to wait for its first woman world champion in wrestling as teenager Anshu Malik settled for a silver medal after losing her 57kg final to 2016 Olympic champion Helen Lousie Marouli here on Thursday.

Coming into the match after becoming India’s first woman finalist at the World Championship, Anshu, 19, began in an aggressive fashion. She led 1-0 at the breather but the bout changed in dramatic fashion in the second.
