Tokyo: Indian wrestler Ravi Kumar Dahiya on Wednesday won the Men’s Freestyle 57kg semi-final bout against Nurislam Sanayev of Kazakhstan at the Tokyo Olympics.

The 4th seed was leading 2-1 at end of the first period. He began to trail 2-9 in the last 3 minutes but came from behind to pin down his opponent and take the win to the gold medal match.
