Ravinder Falls At The Final Hurdle, But A Silver At The World Wrestling Under-23 Championship Is A Pretty Big Deal

Ravinder ended with silver as he lost to Ulukbek Zholdoshbekov in the 61kg final at the Under-23 World Wrestling Championship.

He lost 3-5 to the current Asian Champion in the category.

But Ravinder still has reason to be proud as a silver at this level is a big deal. He had won gold at the South Asian Games in 2016 along with bronze at the Cadet Asian Championships in 2014.
