Ravi was off to a good start as he earned 2 points, however, the Colombian fought back well and tried to pin Dahiya. But, the Indian wrestler won the 1st period by 3-2.&nbsp;

In the second period, Dahiya dominated the Colombian all along and took back to back points to win the bout 13-2.&nbsp;

The Indian wrestler will now take on Bulgaria’s Vangelov Georgi Valentinov, who did not let his opponent concede even a single point and won 11-0.&nbsp;

Earlier, Neeraj Chopra, who is seen as India's top bet for another medal, qualified for the men's javelin final in a stunning first attempt of 86.65m on Wednesday at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.&nbsp;

The monstrous throw helped him finish on top of Group A. Neeraj's biggest rival and a contender for Gold Johannes Vetter (from Germany) qualified in his third attempt with a throw of 85.64m. Finland's Lassi Etelatalo is the third automatic qualification with a throw of 84.50m.

However, Shivpal Singh failed to qualify from Group B and bowed out after a disappointing 76.40m throw. &nbsp;
