Meanwhile, other women grapplers in fray -- Babita (53kg), Geeta (58kg), Anita (63kg) and Navjot Kaur (69kg) and Jyoti (75kg) -- could not make it to the medal round, hence losing out on a chance to book Olympic berths.
While Babita, veteran Geeta and Jyoti went down in the repechage rounds of their respective weight categories, Anita and Navjot crashed out in the early stages of the competition.

Babita defeated Shinhye Lee of Korea 5-0 before losing to USA's Helen Louise Maroulis 0-10 in her quarterfinal bout.
But since the girl from USA reached the final, Babita got an opportunity to fight in repechage round but the Indian forfeited the bout against Alma Jane Valencia Escoto of Mexico.
The eldest of the Phogat sisters, Geeta also suffered the same fate. After a good start against Peru's Yanet Ursula Sovero Nino, winning 8-4, she was thrashed by Lissette Alexandra Antes Castillo of Ecuador 0-6.
However, Geeta missed out on a golden opportunity to make it to the bronze-medal play-off as she suffered an injury and failed to fight in the repechage round.

Jyoti got the better of Sweden's Fanny Helene Gradin 10-6 but could not overcome the challenge from Cynthia Vanessa Vescan of France, going down 0-11.
In the repechage round also, she lost by similar margin to Svetlana Saenko of Moldova.
Anita fell in her quarterfinal bout after a fine victory in the qualification round, while Navjot faltered in her qualification bout itself.
