Sumit Malik shone like a bright star on a gloomy day for the Indians as he is just one win away from securing a Tokyo Olympics berth at World Wrestling Olympic Qualifier in Sofia on Thursday. Sumit (125kg) will be up against Jose Daniel Diaz Robertti of Venezuela in the semifinals.
However, it was all curtains for veteran Amit Dhankar (74kg) and Satyawart Kadian (97kg) at the World Wrestling Olympic Qualifiers, who were ousted in the qualification and quarterfinal rounds respectively on the day. This is also the last chance for all the Indian wrestlers to make the Tokyo Olympics cut.
Sumit, a gold medallist at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, started on a bright note, defeating Aiaal Lazarev of Kyrgyzstan in the qualification round. Although the bout ended 2-2, the Indian went on to pocket the encounter on criteria.
