Watching indian wrestling is too depressing

Neha Sharma lost the Bronze Medal match in women's 55 KG against German wrestler


No medal and no quota so far for indian wrestling contingent
at world wrestling championships

The bronze medal match was equal on points 2-2, but Neha lost the match after considering the most points made in a single move.

The final 3 weight categories in olympics weight classes for women will be decided today. Our best hope Antim is going to be there. But, she runs into last year's world champion American Parrish in first round itself. So, really tough for her in her debut world championships.

Mostly we will end up with no quota at this event. Last time we had 4 ( Ravi,Bajrang, Deepak Punia and Vinesh) qualify thru world championships route.

Antim defeated Parrish 3-2 in 1st round. Hoping she can go deep in the draw and get a quota place as well as a medal.

Antim crossed another round with a dominant 10-0 win, in Quarters now.

In to Semis. A win here confirms medal and quota. Not sure what a loss would mean. There are 5 quota places given in every weight category here, so i assume quota or medal won't be confirmed until repechage also complete in case of a loss here.

Yes, if Antim loses in the SF, we will have to wait till all bouts are over tomorrow to see if she can get a quota. All the medalists will get a quota and then there is a match-up between 2 losing wrestlers in bronze medal matches for 5th quota. So, as of now Antim has 3 shots at the quota, SF, bronze medal match and 5th place match.

Hopefully, she will secure the quota today itself by winning the SF. She is up against Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist Vanesa Kaladzinskaya from Belarus. She beat Vinesh in what was considered a shocking result in QF there. Antim needs to take revenge for Vinesh here .

Antim will play her semi-final tonight at 8:30 against Belarusian wrestler!!

Antim lost in semis by 5-4

Heartbreak for Antim. I though she had won it in the end with those 2 points coming back from 0-3 and than 2-3 down, went up 4-3 but Belarussian won a challenge, I do not know how. Antim seemed fully in control of that exchange.

She will fight for bronze tomorrow. Hope she wins there and earns a medal and quota.

No chance for gold. Japanese Akari Fujinami is unbeaten in international competitions and destroyed her SF opponent in matter of seconds.

Great chance for silver or bronze though.
