Geetika fetches wrestling silver

Doha: Geetika Jakhar and Alka Tomar stole the limelight as India claimed a silver and a bronze medal from the women's wrestling events of the 15th Asian Games here on Monday.

The 21-year-old Geetika had to be content with a silver medal as she lost the final bout against Japan's Kaori Icho 0-5 in the women's freestyle 63kg category.

Geetika could not get a single classification or technical point in the summit showdown unlike her Japanese opponent who bagged eight technical points and five classification points.

Alka Tomar had her moment of glory in the event as she took home the bronze medal defeating China's Su Lihui 3-1 in the 55kg category bronze medal match.

Alka managed five technical points and three classification points while her Chinese opponent had five technical and one classification point to her credit.

With two more additions, India's medal haul from the wrestling mat has gone up to one silver and two bronze with two more days of the competition remaining. — PTI
