Indian wrestler Reetika Hooda was defeated by Aiperi Medet Kyzy of Kyrgyzstan in the quarterfinals of the Women’s 76kg freestyle event at the Paris Olympics. This loss follows Reetika’s impressive victory over Hungary’s Bernadett Nagy in the Round of 16.
The quarterfinal match was a gripping contest, with both wrestlers showing strong defensive skills and ending the six-minute bout tied at 1-1. According to the competition rules, Kyzy advanced due to having scored the last equalizing point.
Reetika’s hopes of securing a medal now rely on Kyzy advancing to the final. If Kyzy makes it to the final, Reetika will have the opportunity to compete in the repechage round. However, if Kyzy does not reach the final, Hooda’s Paris Olympics Journey will end here.
