The Russian with a brilliant move to get the pin!

Despite a valiant effort by Anshu Malik, it was not meant to be for us today as Koblova comes out with a brilliant pin from a defensive position. What a match! Both wrestlers laid it all on the line. Head up Anshu! You will be back better than before, just a matter of time.

Tough luck for Anshu Malik. She pressured the 2016 Olympic silver medalist Valeria Koblova to the last 30 seconds and even led 1-1 by criteria. But Koblova shows her class, she finds a takedown and a near pin to win 5-1. But Anshu, 19, is someone to watch for in the future
