Anshu Malik lost to Valeria Koblova of the Russian Olympic Committee in the repechage bout in women’s 57kg freestyle wrestling, ending her hopes of making it to the bronze medal match.

Anshu had lost to Iryna Kurachkina of Belarus in the pre-quarterfinal on Wednesday. But Koblova, who had also lost to Iryna and was also to play in the repechage as she had lost to the eventual finalist, proved too strong for Anshu as she emerged 5-1 winner.
