Punia makes it to semi-finals of men’s freestyle wrestling





India’s Bajrang Punia won his quarterfinal bout by fall against Morteza Ghiasi of Iran in the men’s freestyle 65kg category and qualified for the semi-finals where he will take on Haji Aliyev of Azerbaijan. 

In wrestling, Seema Bisla lost to Sarra Hamdi of Tunisia 1-3 in women’s 50kg freestyle pre-quarters-final. Hamdi lost her quarterfinal bout though, ending Seema’s hopes of making it to the repechage. 

Earlier, the Indian women’s hockey team went down fighting 3-4 against Great Britain in the bronze medal match. 

Skipper Hollie Pearne Webb scored the equaliser for Great Britain after India took a 3-2 lead going into half-time. Grace Balsdon scored the fourth goal, that proved to the winner for Great Britain.
