Antim Panghal shocked reigning champion Olivia Dominique Parrish en route to the World Championships semifinals, but the young grappler’s giant-killing run was halted in the last-four stage, leaving her fighting for a bronze medal and a Paris Olympics quota place.

Antim lost her 53kg semifinal bout 4-5 to Vanesa Kaladzinskaya. The Indian can earn an Olympics quota even if she finishes fifth by winning the bout between the losers of the bronze medal contest.

Against USA’s Parrish, two-time U20 champion Antim slipped to a 0-2 deficit at the start of the bout but edged her rival 3-2 in the opening round.

She later outplayed Roksana Marta Zasina by technical superiority and followed it up with a 9-6 win over Natalia Malysheva.
