NEW DELHI: Indian wrestler
Yogeshwar Dutt beat Franklin Gomez Matos of Puerto Rico 3-0 in the first repechage round of the men's 60kg freestyle event on Saturday.
Dutt will have to go past Iran's Esmaeilpoorjouybari before meeting Jong Myong Ri for the bronze medal.
Earlier in the day, Dutt's hopes of clinching a medal remained alive after his vanquisher Besik Kudukhov of Russia moved into the finals, enabling the Indian grappler to stake a claim at the elusive bronze in the repechage round.
