And its all over. Ganzorig goes down and so does Yogeshwar Dutt's hopes.

We are about to get underway with the quarter finals here. The last few round of 16 matches are currently ongoing.
Remember guys, Yogeshwar WILL enter the repechage stage if the Mongolian reaches the finals. Rest assured. But whether he will reach the finals is what we are keeping an eye on right now.
Ganzorig the Mongolian will be up against the World Number 2 Ramonov of Russia i the next round. So this is the big one. If he overcomes the Russian, he has a big chance of going through to the finals.

And we are underway
the bout which matters is minutes away. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for live updates.
India actually has a 100% record in the repechage stages at the Olympic games though, so there is a high chance that Yogeshwar will be among the medals if he makes it through. We will keep you updated on the Mongolian's progress in the competition.
Yogeshwar will be entering the repechage in the first round provided the Mongolian makes it all the way to the finals. Remember Sakshi Malik had won her Bronze medal through the repechage so Yogeshwar is anything but out of the competition at the moment. his faith lies in the hands of the Mongolian though. He needs to reach the finals.
For the next few hours, the whole of India will be rooting for Mongolian Mandakhnaran Ganzorig.
Yogeshwar Dutt's medal hopes are now hanging by a thread as his progress and chances of getting any hardware depend on Ganzorig, who has to make it to the final if the Indian is to qualify.
Yogeshwar has had surgeries to his knees. He felt he had fully recovered. But didn't feel like it.
For people wondering, Yogehswar WILL enter the first round of the repechage if the Mongolian reaches the finals
This is a bit shocking for Indian fans as Yogeshwar Dutt loses his qualification round. Dutt looked out of sorts throughout the fight and was a bit too defensive.
Yogeshwar, who is world no 9 lost this one to the world no.12.
Now all we can do is pray that the Mongolian Ganzorig reaches the final. That will give Yogeshwar a chance at bronze trough the repechage.
Yogeshwar will of course have a chance to make a comeback like he did last time through the repechage. But, this is a big setback for the whole of the country.
IT IS OVER and HE HAS LOST THE BOUT
