"Sushil Kumar missed out on what would have been India’s only gold medal at the 2012 Olympics, losing to Japan’s Tatsuhiro Yonemitsu in the final of the 66-kilogram freestyle wrestling event.Kumar ended with silver, becoming the first Indian to win a medal in consecutive Olympics (he won bronze in Beijing 2008.) The 29-year-old will return to India a hero, but there will be disappointment that the gold slipped from his grasp. It would have been only the second individual gold for India in over 90 years of participation at the Olympics.
But Yonemitsu was a convincing 3-1 winner in the final Sunday, the last day of the Games."
