Ulaanbaatar (Mongoli): India's Greco-Roman wrestlers got off to a disappointing start at the 1st OG World Olympic Qualifying tournament today as none of them could make it to the medal round in their respective weight categories here.
In the previous tournament last month -- Asian Olympic Qualification tournament -- Hardeep (98kg) created history by becoming the first Indian Greco-Roman wrestler to secure an Olympic berth after 2004 Athens Games, when Mausam Khatri had made the cut. But Hardeep's qualification failed to inspire others and every one in the fray today went down at the early stages of the competition itself to bow out of the tournament.
