Asian Wrestling Olympic Qualifiers: Indian Greco-Roman wrestlers returned empty-handed from the Asian Olympic Qualifiers as none of the six participants managed to secure a Paris Olympic quota place on Sunday.

A total of 36 quotas in three styles, 12 in each, were up for grabs in the competition. The winner of the semifinals in each Olympic weight class earned an Olympic quota for their countries. There were no gold and bronze medal bouts as well as no repechage rounds.

Five of the six Greco-Roman wrestlers -- Sumit (60kg), Ashu (67kg), Vikas (77kg), Nitesh (97kg), Naveen (130kg) -- lost in the first round.
