Asian wrestling championships: Indian Greco Roman wrestlers disappoint

Indian Greco Roman wrestlers disappointed in the Asian wrestling championships at Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Monday.

Sajan (77kg), who beat Singapore’s Gadiel Misso 9-0 but lost to Iran’s Amir Ali Abdi 8-0 in the quarterfinals before exiting the medal race, was the best performer of the lot. It was also the end of the road for Arjun Halakurki (55kg), Umesh (63kg), Ajay (87kg) and Mehar Singh (130kg) after they lost their respective first round bouts.
