Paris, Aug 25:
Rio Olympian Sandeep Tomar failed to reach the bronze medal play-offs after losing his second repechage bout today, even as Indian grapplers continued to struggle in the World Wrestling Championships here.
India remained medal-less on the fifth and penultimate day of the competition.
Tomar (57kg), along with Harphool (61kg), lost in the Round of 16 but the former got fortunate to get a repechage when his opponent from Japan made the finals.
Tomar posted a comfortable 10-0 win over Aso Palini of Canada in his first repechage bout but went down to Bekhbayar Erdenebat of Mongolia 0-10 to miss out on a place for a third-fourth finish.(PTI)
