News Title Alka, Suman bag bronze; Babita unlucky to miss out
News Contents Indian wrestlers returned two bronze medals in the women's competitions of the Asian championship at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex wrestling stadium here on Friday. Of the six Indian grapplers who made the repechage round, Alka Tomar won her second consecutive bronze and Suman Kundu added another one to swell India's overall medals tally to two gold and two bronze. China dominated the women's competitions by claiming four gold, one silver and two bronze medals. Alka (59kg) defeated Miruyert Dynabayeva of Kazakhstan (3-3, 2-1) to land the first medal of the day for the host. The 2006 World championship bronze winner displayed a decent performance to beat Wilaiwan Thongkam (6-0, 2-0) and advance to the semifinals. The Thai was a 63kg silver medallist last year. Alka, however, could not get past Chinese Fengming Liu (0-5, 3-1, 0-3), who went on to bag the gold. In the repechage, the 26-year-old Indian, who had conceded early points to her Kazak opponent in the first round, banked on her power and technique to emerge successful. “I lost to Liu in the semis because of my faulty technique. I do not think she was better than me. I paid the price for my mistake,” said Alka. Suman Kundu bagged the 63kg bronze by getting the better of another Kazakh Kalinina Olga (2-0, 3-2). Earlier, Suman beat Mongolian T. Munkhtuya (0-1, 4-0, 4-1) to make the last four where she narrowly lost to Korean Sang-Eun Park (0-1, 0-1). The Korean ended up pocketing the top honour. - The hindu
