Aiperi Medet Kyzy: India suffered another setback in women's wrestling as Reetika Hooda lost to top-seeded Aiperi Medet Kyzy of Kyrgyzstan in the quarterfinal of the women’s 76 kg freestyle wrestling event at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Saturday.

After Reetika won the first point by passivity in the first period, Medet Kyzy made a remarkable comeback in the second round of the game by forcing Reetika on defence and collecting a point by passivity and because Medet Kyzy was the last wrestler to win a point, she got the win based on countback.

However, the 21-year-old from Rohtak in Haryana still has a shot at the bronze medal through the repechage round if Aiperi Medet Kyzy wins her semifinal bout and reaches the final.
