Draw for Freestyle 65kg- Bajrang Punia avoids Otoguro, who has beaten him twice. The other half is a real minefield. That’s the good news. He has heavy handed Akmataliev who @siwachvinay feels is a potential banana peel in his first round. I’m not making predictions for this one pic.twitter.com/1zjyfmH8Uy
