CHIBA, Japan : Gable Steveson stunned Rio Games champion Taha Akgul of Turkey in the quarter-finals of the men's freestyle super heavyweight category on Thursday, the U.S. wrestler advancing with an 8-0 victory.

Akgul made no effort to claw back the deficit as the clock ticked down as Steveson jogged around the mat in the final seconds knowing victory was in the bag. Steveson's compatriot Kyle Dake did not fare so well, losing 11-0 in the freestyle welterweight quarter-finals to Belarusian Mahamedkhabib Kadzimahamedau.

Kaladzinskaya showed excellent defence and countered Phogat well in the second period. Despite a successful Indian challenge reducing Kaladzinskaya's lead to 5-3 from 7-2, the Belarusian then managed to pin the reigning Asian champion to win 9-3.
