Ramesh Kumar creates history by winning bronze in World Wrestling Championship | | India made history in wrestling after a gap of 32 years, when Ramesh Kumar won bronze medal in the freestyle
74 kg category in the prestigious World Wrestling Championship. The Uttar Pradesh wrestler clinched India's first medal in the prestigious event by defeating Alexandr
Burca of Moldova on technical points, after the repechage round ended with both the wrestlers tied at the score of 7-7 on Wednesday night. Kumar started the bout
on a disappointing note, trailing 0-3 after the first period. Kumar had earlier
defeated Dustin Schlatter of the US 3-2 in the opening round. He next overcame
Great Britain's Michael Grundy, and beat Kiril Terziev of Bulgaria 7-4 in the
quarterfinal. Kumar lost out on the gold medal opportunity going down 0-5 to Chamsulvara
Chamsulvarayev of Azerbaijan. |
