Rajiv Tomar became the third Indian grappler to qualify for the Beijing Olympics during a qualification tournament at Martigny in Switzerland.

The Indian won silver in the 120 kg freestyle category in the event held from April 18 to 20 to join two other compatriots in the quadrennial mega extravaganza, a Wrestling Federation of India release said.

Sushil Kumar 66 kg freestyle and Yogeshwar Dutt 60 kg freestyle are the other two to have qualified for the Olympics.
