    Amit Kumar lost the quarter final bout. NOw, will look forward if Vladimir will reach to finale and he will get a chance to play in repchage.

    Narsingh Yadav is out, as his opponent Gentry is out as well. SO, he will not be lucky to play in repchage.

    Yogeshwar won first bout but as everyone in the crew he too lost in Quarters.
    And as all other wrestlers, he too got a chance for repchage as his opponent marched into finale.

    Let's see if he can bring some smile to our faces?

    India's Biggest medal hope, and flag bearer Sushil kumar will fight on the final day of the Olympics - AUG 12

    Looking forward for Y Dutt's Repchage fights,
