History created with a hat-trick
Even though Roshibina Devi failed to win the gold medal instead of silver by winning the final, she definitely created history by scoring a hat-trick in the Asian Games. She has become the first Indian player to score a hat-trick of medals in Wushu in the Asian Games. Roshibina Devi, who won the silver medal in the 2026 Asian Games, also won the silver medal in the 2023 Asian Games. Before that, he had won the bronze medal in the 2018 Asian Games.
Every time the Chinese challenge became an obstacle
The big thing is that every time the obstacle between Roshibina Devi and the gold medal in the Asian Games has been the Chinese player. Like in the Aichi Nagoya Asian Games, he lost to his Chinese opponent in the final. Similarly, in the last two Asian Games also, the biggest hurdle for Roshibina was the Chinese challenge.
Roshibina’s name was not in the team, now history has been created
Roshibina Devi is the second player from Manipur to win a silver medal for India in the Aichi Nagoya Asian Games 2026. Before him, Mirabai Chanu had also won the silver medal. However, it would not have been easy for Roshibina to do this if fate had not given her a chance.
Roshibina’s name was not in the first selection of the Wushu team for the 2026 Asian Games. He got his chance when Divyanshu Chaudhary was out due to injury. Roshibina not only capitalized on that lucky opportunity in Aichi Nagoya, Japan but also created history by winning a hat-trick of medals.
