Wrestling: Nitesh Siwach advances to men's 97kg Greco-Roman final

Nitesh registered a dominant 9-0 win on Technical Superiority against Mongolia’s Gankhuyag Ganbaatar in the semi-final to create history.

He is now the first Indian Greco-Roman wrestler to reach the Asian Games final since 1962.

Nitesh finished his semi-final bout in the first half itself, claiming two four-point throws on the parterre position after the passivity advantage.

He will next face the winner of the other semi-final between Japan and Iran.
