Papas of Asian wrestling Did it Again 
Indian grapplers ended their campaign on a high in the International Wrestling tournament in Sassari City, Italy, bagging as many as nine medals, including eight gold in Men's Freestyle event.
Sonu (61kg), Somvir (86kg), Mausam Khatri (97kg) and Hitender (125kg) bagged a gold each in their respective weight categories.
Earlier, Amit Kumar (57kg), Yogeshwar Dutt (65kg), Praveen Rana (70kg) and Narsingh Yadav (74kg) had also clinched the yellow metal.
Rajneesh was the lone Indian wrestler who settled had to settle for a bronze in 65kg Freestyle division.
After World Wrestling Federation introduced variations in the weight categories at the end of year 2013, Yogeshwar chose to compete in 65kg category, climbing up from 60kg division, in which he won the bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympics. Since jumping up the weight category, Yogeshwar has won gold in all four tournaments he has taken part so far.
Incidentally, he had won his first yellow metal in the new weight category in this very tournament last year. He then went on to bag the gold in both the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and Incheon Asian Games in 2014 before making it four in a row here.
