The wrestlers were locked 1-1 after six minutes of top-quality defensive wrestling but the Kyrgyz won having logged home the last equalising point as per rules. Both wrestlers played a defensive game and the solitary point each was scored through passivity across the two periods. Reetika will now wait for Kyzy to enter the final which will give her a shot at competing in the repechage round. If she doesn't then India's Paris Games campaign will end with six medals and without a gold. Earlier, Reetika displayed power and skill in equal measure while outclassing Bernadett Nagy of Hungary 12-2 in the pre-quarterfinals. She had shone brightly during the match, adopting an aggressive approach as she engaged with her opponent. She managed to subdue Nagy and earned two points. Remaining in an advantageous position, Reetika capitalised on the moment and extended her lead to four points. Bernadett attempted a comeback by gripping Reetika's thigh and pinning her down to score two points. Despite her efforts, she couldn't turn Reetika over and had to settle for those two points. In response, Reetika launched a fierce counterattack, taking Bernadett down and extending her lead to 6-2. She continued to score by seizing Bernadett’s stomach and flipping her onto her back. She sealed the victory by earning the final two points, finishing with a decisive 12-2 win by technical superiority and advancing to the next round. (With inputs from PTI)

Reetika dazzled in the bout, played on an aggressive note and got her grip around her opponent, Bernadett Nagy of Hungary. She brought down her opponent and got two points. While still in an attacking position, Reetika seized the opportunity and converted it into four. Bernadett tried to script a comeback after she got hold of Reetika's thigh and pinned her down to take two points. However, she failed to roll Reetika over and settled for just two points. Reetika retaliated with an aggressive move to take down Bernadett and take a 6-2 advantage. She earned consecutive points after getting a hold of Bernadett's stomach, flinging the Hungarian to her back.

Paris Olympics: India wrestler Reetika Hooda beats Bernadett Nagy, storms into quarter-finals in style

Living up to the expectations, <keyword id="20430890" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aman-Sehrawat" source="keywords">Aman Sehrawat</keyword> on Friday bagged the men's 57kg free-style <keyword id="20257145" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bronze-medal" source="keywords">bronze medal</keyword> at the <keyword id="19933819" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympics" source="keywords">Olympics</keyword> with a commanding win over Darian Toi Cruz, bringing some cheers to the <keyword id="22736140" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-wrestling-contingent" source="keywords">Indian wrestling contingent</keyword> that has been rocked by controversies. The 21-year-old U-23 world champion was the lone Indian male wrestler to qualify for the Paris Games and he did not disappoint, winning 13-5 in the bronze play-off at Champ de Mars Arena. The sport of wrestling has not missed a medal at the Olympics since 2008 and Aman's effort ensured the streak remained unbroken. Sushil Kumar broke the glass ceiling by winning the bronze in Beijing (2008), and since then Yogeshwar Dutt (2012), Sakshi Malik (2016), Ravi Dahiya and Bajrang Punia (2021) have kept the tradition intact. Aman's effort also helped India win its sixth medal and move closer to the Tokyo Games tally of seven. Antim Panghal (53kg), Anshu Malik (57kg), and Nisha Dahiya (68kg) could not reach the medal rounds in their respective categories. On the other hand, Vinesh Phogat (50kg) lost despite entering the final as she was disqualified from the gold-medal bout for being overweight. The disqualification led to a huge uproar in the country. The decision has been challenged in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The hearing has concluded and a decision is expected by Sunday evening. Teenager Antim Pangal also landed herself in trouble for sending her sister to the Games Village on her accreditation card. She was deported along with her entourage. It was a fast-paced bout with quick moves from the two wrestlers. Once Aman got a measure of his rival, he did not give much of a chance to the Puetro Rican. He build a healthy 6-3 lead by the end of first period with consecutive takedown moves. As is usually the case, Aman, who thrives on a high-endurance game, first tried to wear down his opponent and then went for the kill. With dominating technical-superiority wins over Vladimir Egorov and Zelimkhan Abakarov, the Indian wrestler stormed into the semifinals without conceding a single point but was no match for Japan's Rei Higuchi in the semifinals. Having lost his parents at a tender age of 12, the famed Chhatrasal stadium -- where his father had enrolled him in 2013 -- became his second home. He comes from the centre that has given India four Olympic medallists -- Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt, Bajrang Punia and Ravi Dahiya. Reetika Hooda (76kg) will be in action on Saturday, and if she wins a medal, India will match its Tokyo tally.

Nisha Dahiya's Paris Olympics campaign met an unfortunate end as she succumbed to North Korea's Pak Sol Gum in the quarterfinals of the women's 68 kg competition on Monday. Dahiya faced a 8-10 lost to Sol Gum. At one point, she was leading by 8-2, but she faced an injury and had to take some medical timeouts. Sol Gum took a full advantage of her opponent's injury and made a comeback which was just good enough to help her win the match. In the round of 16, Nisha had defeated Tetiana Sova by 6-4 at the Champs de Mars Arena. Nisha could just make it to the quarterfinals in her debut Olympics. Sova led 4-1 after the first round, but Nisha fought back in the second round to get five more points and turn around the contest in her favour.
