By Eric Olanowski

Yogeshwar DUTT (IND) defeated Jong Myong RI (PRK), two-periods-to-one, and claimed the 60kg bronze medal at the ’12 London Olympic Games.

 

In the bronze-medal match, Dutt surrendered an opening frame takedown and dropped the period, 1-0. The eventual four-time Olympian used his signature underhook throw-by to even the match at one period apiece, before demolishing Ri, 6-0, in the final period.

Dutt’s bronze-medal finish earned him a place in Indian wrestling history books, as he joined Sushil KUMAR (IND) and Kha-Shaba JADAV (IND) as the only Indian freestyle wrestlers who own an Olympic medal.
