Sakshi Malik's chances of making a second appearance at the Olympics took a beating when she was beaten once again by 18-year-old Sonam Malik, this time in trials for the Indian team for the Olympic qualifiers on Wednesday in Lucknow. Sonam pinned the 2016 Olympics bronze medallist to go through in the 62kg category.

Sonam first beat Radhika and then beat Sarita Mor, who had recently won the 59kg gold at the Asian Championships. She was trailing Sakshi 1-2 in the second period when she managed to pin her opponent and thus claim a win.
