London: India wrestler Geeta Phogat crashed out while woman high jumper Sahana Kumari's plunge fell short of taking her to the final in the London Olympics here Thursday. Late Wednesday night, boxer Laishram Devendro Singh bowed out from the men's quarter-final stage after a brave fight, ending India's campaign in the competition at the Excel Arena.
Geeta was out of the Olympics after she lost her first repechage round to Ukraine's Tetyana Lazareva 3-0 in the women's 55 kg wrestling event here Thursday.
Geeta got into the repechage round after Canadian Tonya Lynn Verbeek, who had defeated her in the first round, went on to qualify for the title clash.
