Deepak settles for silver again, outsmarted in 86kg final by Dauletbekov #IndiaNEWS #News
Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia): Deepak Punia could do nothing against the solid defence of Kazakhstans Azmat Dauletbekov and settled for a silver medal while Viky Chahar grabbed a bronze in the 92kg competition on the concluding day of the Asian Championship, here on Sunday.
Eyeing his maiden gold medal at the continental event, Deepak reached the final without conceding a single point as he first blanked Irans Mohsen Miryousef Mostafavi Alanjagh (6-0) and then humbled Koreas Gwanuk Kim (5-0).
However, Dauletbekov did not let the Indian play his aggressive game, foiling a few of his attacks with remarkable ease.
Deepak usually stuns his rivals with his speed and agility but Dauletbekov was up for the task and smartly foiled the Indians leg attacks by maintaining distance.
Dauletbekov grabbed his chances on counter-attacks and kept building his lead to eventually win the final by a comfortable 6-1 margin.
It is Deepaks fourth medal at the Asian Championship, having won a silver (2021) and two bronze (2019, 2020) before.
Adding to Indias medal tally was Viky, who won the bronze medal bout against Uzbekistans Ajiniyaz Saparniyazov 5-3.
