Indian wrestler Ravinder stunned defending champion Beka Lomtadze before being outclassed by American Daton Duain Fix in the 61kg quarterfinals even as three of his compatriots fizzled out in the qualification rounds of the World Championships here today.

Ravinder, who won a silver medal in the junior World Championships in August, gave a good account of himself in his three bouts.

Yash Tunir (74kg), Sandeep Mann (86kg) and Anirudh (125kg) could not get past the qualification rounds in their respective categories to make early exits.

Ravinder began with a technical superiority win over South Korea’s Kim Sunggwon and then returned to the mat to shock 2019 world champion Lomtadze, who ran out of steam as the bout progressed. However, Daton Duain Fix proved too good for Ravinder, who lost his quarterfinal by technical superiority. — PTI
