Rahul, competing in the 82kg category, lost 1-7 to Kazakhstan's Almir Tolebayev, but lasted the entire six minutes. Meanwhile, Sonu was defeated 0-8 by Croatia's Marko Koscevic in the 130kg class. In women's wrestling, Antim Panghal aims for a bronze medal against Sweden's Emma Jonna Denise Malmgren after Manisha Bhanwala was knocked out of contention by Bulgaria's Bilyana Dudova.
