“Depak’s opponent used to play in higher weight category but he lost his weight from 97 kg to 81 kg for this tournament. It was a close contest and we tried our best,” said Lama.
It was the last chance for qualifying for the London Olympics following Maharjan’s exit in the World Qualifying Tournament held some months ago in Baku, Azerbaijan.
