Peruvian wrestler Sixto Barrera trounced Lithuanian Valdemaras Venckaitis, ranked 3rd in the world, in the first qualifying rounds of Men's Greco-Roman 74 k, in Beijing, on August 12.
Barrera then went against China's Chang Yongxiang in the quarter finals and lost.
Chang Yongxiang advances to the finals with Georgia's Manuchar Kvirkelia.
This will be China's first-ever medal in wrestling.
Here is my professional opinion about Barrera's loss: Argggh!
