UWW Veterans World Championship: 3 Indians crash out after reaching quarters

At least three Indians made it to the quarter-finals on the opening day of the UWW Veterans World Wrestling Championship in Georgia. But they failed to make the most of the opportunities at hand, crashing out of the Greco-Roman competiton.
Each of the four Indians on the mat on Tuesday made it to the repechage round, but all failed to live up to high expectations when it mattered the most.Seasoned pro Kripa Shankar Patel, who is participating both in the Greco Roman and Freestyle events, made an impressive start in the 70kg Greco Roman event. He started off with an impressive 8-0 win over Coratias’ Aleksandar Stojic. But lost the next two bouts – in the quarter-finals to Azad Mohammadsaeid ALIMOHAMMADPOUR of Iran and then  on the repechage opportunity to Orhan TIKAC of Turkish and crashed out of the medal hunt.
