Indian wrestler Pinki nearly pinned her German rival Nina Hemmer before losing the heart-stopping 55kg semi-final 6-8 to miss out on a historic final at the World Championship, here on Monday.
In a fast-paced action-packed semi-final, Pinki trailed 0-4 after Hemmer effected a take-down move and followed that up with a quick gut wrench.
The 2020 Asian champion Pinki kept looking for her moves and found one from a right leg-attack, pushing the back of the German on the mat for two points.
She kept Hemmer in tight grip and held her in that position for more than a minute but the referees were not convinced to give away a &lsquo;fall&rsquo; result.
Earlier, Rohit pulled off a smart four-pointer en route to a technical superiority win over Turkey&rsquo;s&nbsp;
Selahattin Kilicsallayan to progress to the men&rsquo;s free-style 65kg bronze medal play-off.
