Wrestler Nisha Dahiya: India’s Nisha Dahiya came back fighting and stormed into the quarterfinals of the women’s 68kg freestyle wrestling event with a 6-4 win over Ukraine’s Tetiana Sova in the pre-quarterfinals event. Dahiya opened the scoring in the bout and took a 1-0 lead through a step-out point in the first round. Tetiana relied on her defence and waited for the perfect chance to score four points on the counterattack and held a 4-1 lead.

In what can only be described as a close encounter, Dahiya scored two points with a takedown and one more with a step out to fight her back and tie the bout 4-4.

The game remained tied with the clock running out in the encounter but a late takedown with just 11 seconds remaining secured two points and a 6-4 victory for the Indian grappler.
