Reuters: Sushil Kumar had to settle for a silver medal in the 66kg freestyle wrestling at the London Olympics after losing to Japan’s Tatsuhiro Yonemitsu in the final on Sunday.

It was Japan’s fourth wrestling gold of the London Games but a first for the Japanese men’s team. Yonemitsu and Kumar won a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. On Saturday India’s Yogeshwar Dutt won an Olympic bronze medal in the men’s freestyle wrestling 60kg competition defeating North Korea’s Ri Jong Myong.
