Sushil Kumar proved to be no challenge for Ukrainian Andriy Stadnik in the first round of 66kg freestyle wrestling event, leaving the Indian grappler’s medal hopes in Beijing Olympics hinging on the repechage.
Pitted against a far superior opponent, Sushil managed to score a technical point even though Stadnik led the first period 2-1. In the second phase, Stadnik simply toyed with Sushil and scored six points and it looked a gross mismatch with the Indian struggling against the dominant Ukrainian.
In the repechage first round, Sushil will lock horns with American Doug Schwab later in the day.
