India8217;s challenge in Olympic wrestling came to a premature end with the elimination of freestylers Sushil Kumar 60kg and Sujit Mann 74kg here today. Sushil Kumar outclassed his Bulgarian rival Ivan djorev 9-0 in an elimination round bout to finish 14th among 19 entrants.
Earlier, Kumar was upset 0-3 by Yandro Miguel Quintana in his opening bout in Pool C. That ended his dreams of a medal as the Cuban had already defeated Djorev.
Mann, in contrast, lost both his bouts after putting up an insipid display in pool A.
