JaFanatic Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Geeta Phogat still has a chance for bronze as the lady who beat her went on to reach the final (i know.. weird wrestling rules). Anyway, she needs to win her next 2 fights (starting at 5:45pm London time) hope she wins:two_thumbs_up:
Number Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 nicole adams wins gold Her opponent didn't even look anywhere close to her. Dominated. Mary was better, should've won silver at least. :((

Anyway, she needs to win her next 2 fights (starting at 5:45pm London time) It's called "Repechage" and used in many sports apart from Wrestling like Cycling, Rowing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repechage
JaFanatic Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Her opponent didn't even look anywhere close to her. Dominated. Mary was better, should've won silver at least. :((yeah mary performed way ahead of this china boxer but its unfortunate that she has to face nicole in the semis

Anyway, she needs to win her next 2 fights (starting at 5:45pm London time) Thanks, thats good to know what the rules mean. May be she can bite her way into the bronze...
maniac Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 ^ I think Sushil Kumar won the Bronze in 2008 in the repechage as well...All the best to Geeta

India-KXIP fan Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 anything today? Yeah in the Mens 74kg freestyle. Commonwealth gold medalist, age is 23 so still young. http://www.london2012.com/wrestling/event/men-freestyle-74kg/match=wrm274406/index.html
BERGKAMP Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 pathetic showing from india overall, committee heads need to roll and a new long term plan has to be made for success in future olympics. the right talent needs to be spotted at an early age and then sufficiently funded right through their careers.
OutStumped Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 When does our event start? After 5.30 PM: Amit Kumar - 55kg Freestyle. He has a bye in the qualifications but his 1/8 final should be anytime after 5.30 PM. 7.10 PM: Narsingh Yadav vs Judah Matthew Gentry (Canada) in the 74kg Freestyle 1/8 finals. Source: FirstPost
