Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Apr 15 (PTI) Indian Greco-Roman wrestlers had a forgettable outing on the penultimate day of the Asian Championships with none of the five contestants on show making it to the medal rounds here on Monday.

India's Arjun Halakurki (55kg), Umesh (63kg), Sajan (77kg), Ajay (87kg) and Mehar Singh (130kg) bowed out early, with none of them even making the repechage round to at least keep bronze-medal hopes alive.

Sajan, in 77kg, won his opening bout against Singapore's Gadiel Raid Al Qudrah Misso hands down but lost in the quarterfinals to a technically superior Amir Ali Abdi of Croatia.
