KARACHI: Pakistani wrestlers Mohammad Bilal and Haroon Abid failed to qualify for this summer’s Tokyo Olympics when they fell at different stages in their competitions of the World Olympic Games Qualifiers in Sofia, Bulgaria, on Thursday.

Bilal is expected to get repechage as his second round rival Giogi has reached semi-finals. If he qualifies for the final then Bilal will get a repechage fight which will be held on Friday (today). Haroon lost to Timofei Xenidis of Greece in the first round of the 97kg competition 11-0. The top two in each weight category will qualify for the Olympics.
