Digital Desk: India's Antim Panghal, 19, won the bronze medal in women's freestyle 53kg, defeating Mongolia's Bolortuya Bat-Ochir 3-1. Both of these wrestlers had gone down to world champion Akari Fujinami in earlier rounds.
Antim tried the single-leg hold twice, but Bolortuya evaded.
Bolortuya, the Tokyo 2020 bronze medalist, was later given a passivity warning for being too defensive. In response, she attempted to take the attack to the Indian, but in vain. The Indian, having gained confidence from the headstart, won two more points with a takedown at the end of the first period.
The Mongolian scored one point by staying on the board tactfully while Antim's passivity clock was ticking.
