In the bronze medal bout, Malik managed to seal it 8 to 5 in her favour. Meanwhile, another Indian wrestler Narsingh Yadav was handed a four-year ban from the sport for doping.  That's after the World Anti-Doping Agency won its appeal against his earlier exoneration.

 The Agency said all competitive results Yadav obtained since June 25th of this year, would be disqualified.
