4 Indian women wrestlers went to Tokyo. Vinesh is the only one to win her 1st bout.

Sonam, Anshu, Seema Bisla have all lost their opening bouts.

 

Doesn't tell a good story

 

 

Surprisingly too much defence and lack of attack in many cases

India lose the bronze medal match, much because of too many players getting yellow and green card for india, india were playing with 10 men for almost half of the 4th quarter in which britain pushed and got the penaltt corner, even though india will be proud of their performance but both of the time against argentina and britain india have given away their lead and thats were they need to learn in future.

Losing to a team 4-1 in the group stage and then coming back and losing 4-3 in the bronze medal match shows how much the team has grown during the tournament.

Yeah. Im inclined to think its a coaching strategy given the way it is being repeated by almost every wrestler.

Terrible approach. I hope a medal or 2 does not put a layer over these issues

Close shave for Bajrang. His opponent was very good and it was a relieve that he came through a close bout.

What a queer bout! Bajrang looks so defensive! Is he pegged by that injury?

Aditi Ashok has a very good chance for silver with a 2 shot lead going into the final round.
