Indian wrestler Ravi Kumar Dahiya fell short of the gold medal by the slightest of margins. Dahiya lost the final in the men’s freestyle 57 kg wrestling category against the Russian Olympic Committee’s Zavur Uguev.

” I did not come to Tokyo for a silver medal. It will not give me satisfaction. Maybe this time I deserved only a silver because Uguev was a better wrestler today. I could not achieve what I wanted to. His style was very good. I just could not find a way to play my game. I don’t know what I could have done. He wrestled very smartly,” said Ravi Kumar Dahiya.

In other events, Deepak Punia lost his bronze medal match in the men’s freestyle 86 kg category. Punia lost against Myles Amine of San Marino. Vinesh Phogat too lost in her quarterfinals match against Belarus’ Vanesa Kaladzinskaya in the 53kg category.
