He will now fight for bronze medal against Armenia's Arsen Harutyunyan, the European champion bronze medallist, in the evening session
Showing nerves of steel, Indian wrestler Ravinder pulled off a sensational come-from-behind 'victory by fall' against Bulgaria's Georgi Valentinov Vangelov after trailing by a huge 0-8 margin in the World Championship repechage round to enter the 61kg bronze play-off here on Sunday.
Ravinder's victory was similar to win at the Tokyo Olympics when he trailed 2-9 but eventually pinned his rival.
