Reetika gave a big scare to the top seed\u00a0but ended up losing despite the scoreline of 1-1.\u00a0She lost via the countback rule.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Reetika displayed brilliant composure in the first round of the bout. She showed a good combination of attack and defence and led the top-seed 1-0 at the halfway point. But after the break, the top-seeded converted a point after being given a passivity warning. As Kyrgyzstan&#8217;s wrestler accumulated the last points of the bout, she ended up winning the contest despite being tied at 1-1.<\/p>\n<p>Reetika began her Olympics 2024 campaign with a stunning win over Hungary&#8217;s Bernadett Nagy in the round of 16. She defeated the Hungarian opponent by technical superiority 12-2 to take the opening bout. She unleashed her skills and composure to get the better of her opponent. The 21-year-old Indian was leading 4-2 at the halfway mark before unleashing her takedowns in the next period to win the bout easily.<\/p>\n<p>Reetika is India&#8217;s first female wrestler to enter the heavyweight category at the Summer Games. She is a U23 World Champion, having won the gold medal in the 2023 Championships.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite losing the quarterfinal, Reetika is not out of the Paris Olympics as of now. If her quarterfinal opponent &#8211;\u00a0Aiperi &#8211; wins her semifinal too, the Indian will be given a repechage chance. She will then contest against the wrestler who lost to\u00a0Aiperi in the round of 16. The\u00a0Kyrgyzstan&#8217;s grappler had defeated China&#8217;s Juan Wang in her opening bout. If Aiperi is through to the finals, Reetika will fight in the repechage against Wang to keep her bronze medal hopes alive.<\/p>\n<p>Reetika is India&#8217;s last hope for a medal at the Summer Games as the golfers &#8211; Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar &#8211; are at the bottom half of the 60-member field on Day 4 of the event.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/other\/reetika-hooda-stuns-top-seed-aiperi-kyzy-to-enter-76kg-wrestling-semifinals-at-paris-olympics-2024-2024-08-10-946233\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : AP Reetika Hooda in action.
