Indian wrestler Reetika Hooda\u2019s medal aspirations were dashed as she did not advance to the repechage round after Kyrgyz wrestler Aiperi Medet Kyzy lost 6-8 to Kennedy Blades in the semifinals of the women\u2019s 76kg freestyle event at the Champ-de-Mars Arena in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Reetika became the first Indian woman to qualify for the Olympics in heavyweight wrestling. She began her journey with a technical superiority victory over Hungary\u2019s Bernadett Nagy but was defeated by top seed Kyzy in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Aman Sehrawat earned India\u2019s first wrestling medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, winning bronze with a convincing 13-5 win against Puerto Rico\u2019s Darian Cruz. This increased India\u2019s total medal tally to six, just one short of the seven medals won at Tokyo 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
