Paris, Aug 10: India's final medal hope in wrestling Reetika Hooda, lost her quarterfinal fight in the women's 76 kg freestyle event at the Paris Olympics 2024 on Saturday.
She was defeated by top-seeded Aiperi Medet Kyzy of Kyrgyzstan 1-1 on criteria in the quarterfinal.
However, there is a slight chance of Reetika still fighting for the Bronze medal through the repechage round, if Kyzy reaches the final.
