- India’s Sakshi Malik
won a bronze medal in the wrestling 58kg category after the Indian beat
Aisuluu Tynybekova 8-5 in the bronze medal bout. In a thrilling
contest, Sakshi fought back from 0-5 down to seal the bout 8-5 in her
favour. With seconds left on the clock, she produced a three-point move
to seal the bout and India’s first medal at Rio 2016 Olympics. It wasn’t an ideal start for the 23-year-old as she conceded a
five-point lead early in the contest, and like in three out of the four
bouts earlier in the day, she was back from behind to produce the moves
when they mattered, and seal the win.
