Twitterati Furious as Ravi Dhaiya's Opponent Bites Him During Semi-Final Bout

Ravi Kumar Dhaiya defeated Nurislam Sanayev at the Tokyo Olympics, but not before he was bitten by his opponent.

Ravi Kumar Dhaiya defeated Nurislam Sanayev from Kazakhasthan to enter into the finals of the Men's freestyle 57kg wrestling at the Tokyo Olympics.

With his victory and progression into the final, Ravi has assured India of another medal – a gold or a silver.

While Ravi might have defeated his opponent, he had to endure some pain along the way, as Sanayev bit him when the Kazakhstani was pinned down in an attempt to break free.

Ravi did show his arm to the referee, but since he had already won the match, there was nothing to be done.

Here's how Twitter reacted to Ravi being bitten by his opponent.

Fair play? Get such athletes punished with immediate effect. @iocmedia @wrestling hope Ravi is okay. pic.twitter.com/1PDw3iMx7q

How unfair is this , couldn’t hit our #RaviDahiya ‘s spirit, so bit his hand. Disgraceful Kazakh looser Nurislam Sanayev.

That happens in wrestling. Our 2 time medallist Sushil Kumar bit and took a chunk out of his opponent’s ear in a bout on the way to Olympic medal.

This will have a harmful effect on #RaviDahiya performance in finals.
.
He will certainly feel weakness & pain in his biceps due to this.
.
That Kazakhstan player should be penalised and disqualified from participating further in this Olympics.
