Lackie defeated wrestlers of Japan, Georgia and Iran
Laki started his campaign by defeating Hanteo Hayashi of Japan with technical superiority, after which he defeated Murtaj Bagdavadje of Georgia 8–0 to enter the quarter-finals. In the semi -finals, he encountered wrestling veteran from Amirhusain M. Nagdalipur in Iran, where Laki once again won by performing magnificent technical skills. Now in the final, Laki will compete with Magomeudrasul Omarov playing under the banner of UWW (United World Wrestling). This match can prove to be the biggest moment of his career.
Gaurav has a chance to win bronze medal
Another Indian wrestler Gaurav Poonia also made a great start. He introduced his strength by winning his first two matches on the basis of technical superiority without losing any points. But in the quarter -finals, he lost to Arseni Kikinio of America. However, due to the American wrestler reached the final, Gaurav Poonia has got a chance again in the Repeches Round. If they now win their two matches, then the bronze medal can be their name.
Shivam and Jayveer’s challenge ends

Unfortunately, Rakhatov was later defeated, which also closed the door of Repeches for Shivam. In the 55 kg category, Jayveer Singh defeated local player Eionis Kisidis with technical superiority in his first match. However, in the quarter -finals, he was given a US Great F. Facked 0-3 against Burnett. Since Burnett was out after losing in the semi -finals, the medal expectations for Jayveer also ended.
