Thirteen years after the last Indian man to win an Olympic medal – his idol Sushil Kumar, Ravi Dahiya is guaranteed another. He has won all his bouts in Tokyo by fall or technical superiority. Kept his cool, didn't let some gamesmanship from the Kazakh Sanayev get to him. pic.twitter.com/1o3CtWu1YU
