Indian women boxers Simranjit Kaur (60kg) and Manisha (57kg) notched up gold medals in the Cologne World Cup.

India finished the competition in second spot with three gold, two silver and four bronze medals. On Saturday, Asian Games champion Amit Panghal (52kg) had won gold.

Veteran Satish Kumar (+91kg) had to settle for a silver after an injury forced him to withdraw from the finals.

Sonia Lather (57kg), Pooja Rani (75kg), Gaurav Solanki (57kg) and Mohammed Hussamudin (57kg) returned with bronze medals.
