Tokyo: Indian wrestler Ravi Kumar Dahiya fought a brave bout but could not overcome the Russian Olympic Committee's (ROC) Zavur Uguev in the final of the men's freestyle 57kg at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday.
The 23-year-old Indian had to settle for a silver medal as the ROC wrestler won the bout 7-4 on points.
Dahiya, who had reached the final by beating Nurislam Sanayev of Kazakhstan with a last-minute fall in the semifinal, found Uguev, a two-time world champion, too strong and too determined to win the gold.
The Russian won early points and then defended strongly, without giving Dahiya many chances.
