Defending champion Babita Phogat (53kg) settled for a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games after being out-manoeuvred by Canada’s Diana Weicker in the summit clash here today.
Babita, who claimed a silver in the 2010 edition before a gold in Glasgow, failed to break through her rival’s defences, going down 2–5 in the contest. Her medal opened India’s account in the wrestling competition of the Games.
“I think my weakness today was my attack, I should have been more aggressive but I gave my 100 per cent. I am satisfied with the intensity I put in but obviously I could not get the result I wanted,” she said. “I had a bit of a problem in my knees too but injuries are a wrestler’s ornaments. We live with niggles, there is nothing there,” she added.
