Ravi Kumar Dahiya became just the second Indian wrestler to reach an Olympic final when he beat Kazakhstan’s Nurislam Sanayev by fall in the men’s 57kg semi-final at the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday.
Dahiya was down and out his bout trailing Sanayev 2-9 with little over a minute to play but the Indian, who is known for hitting back in his bouts, did just that by pinning his opponent to achieve the victory.
