Wrestling gold winners Alka and Anita feel sorry for Babita kumari, who missed out on top position The Indian women's wrestling contingent added two more golds and a silver medal to their previous day's gold, silver and bronze medals. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/oct/gold.jpg" border="5" /> India's Babita Kumari breaks down after losing to Nigeria's Christi Nwoye yesterday. Pic/Imtiyaz Khanu00a0u00a0 Alka Tomar won the gold in the Freestyle 59kg when she pinned down Canada's Tonya Verbeek in just one minute and 49 seconds into the first round, while Anita won gold in the 67kg beating another Canadian, Megan Budyens 4-0. However, immediately after their bouts and the brief celebration that followed, both girls expressed concern over teammate Babita Kumari, who lost out on the gold in the 51kg to Nigeria's Christi Nwoye. u00a0 Babita's sister Geeta had clinched Indian wrestling's first-ever CWG medal a day earlier, and Babita too, was expected to follow her footsteps. However, after her narrow 4-6 defeat to Nigeria's Ifeoma Christi Nwoye, Babita was inconsolable. "Babita is a good wrestler. I cannot understand how she lost. She was a sure-shot gold for us. I feel very hurt to see her like this," Alka said after her win. Anita said: "Babita is a very hard working girl and that's why she is not content with the silver medal. But it was just not her day." Chief coach Piara Ram Sondhi was stunned too. "She just cant' stop crying and it's sad to see her like this. She is very committed and deserved the gold medal. After losing Round One, she made a wrong move with a lift in the second round and lost a couple of crucial points, else the score would be equal and the match would go into the decider and anything could have happened. But then that's sport for you," he said.
