India's Sakshi Malik lost 2 - 9 to Russia's Valeria Koblova in the women's Freestyle 58kg category quarter - final at the Rio Olympics here on Wednesday.
Sakshi, who trailed 0 - 1 after the first period, made a comeback in the initial minutes of the second period to go 2 - 1 up at the Carioca Arena.
She, however, failed to maintain the lead as the Russian overpowered her with some incredible moves to take an unassailable 9 - 2 lead in the dying minutes.
Sakshi is still in contention for bronze via Repechage if Valeria makes it to the final.
