There was no end to the woes of Rio Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Maik, who lost her opening round 7-10 to Nigeria's Aminat Adeniyi. She was knocked out of the tournament after the Nigerian went on to lose her quarter-final bout thereafter.
Sakshi waited too long to attack while her powerful opponent moved quickly across the mat.Sakshi is out of the championship and does not qualify for a repechage round as since the Nigerian was beaten in the quarter-final tare in the day.
