Unperturbed, the 19-year-old Indian began to defend well and foiled two similar attempts, not conceding any more points till the end of first period.<br \/>With her strong defense continuing, Panghal did not let Parrish make any attacking move and as a result the American was put on clock.<br \/>Panghal got hold of the American&#8217;s left leg and converted that into a successful take-down move to draw parity. She tried to get a leg lace but could not pull off the move.<br \/>The American lost a point on passivity. Standing wrestling followed and Panghal defended her slender lead to walk out a winner.<br \/>She needed only one minute and 38 seconds to outplay Zasina in her next bout, beating the Poland wrestler by technical superiority to move into the quarterfinals.<br \/>After two take-down moves, Panghal pulled off leg-lace move with perfection to finish the bout in a jiffy.<br \/>In the quarterfinal, she led 6-0 but Natalia from Russia affected a comeback with a take-down and consecutive gut-wrench points to make it 6-6.<br \/>On counter-attack Panghal took the lead again. The Indian extended the lead with a left-leg attack which she converted into a take-down. After that, about 30 seconds were still left in the bout but Paghal denied her rival.<br \/>However, Manisha (62kg), Priyanka (68kg) and Jyoti Berwal (72kg) lost their bouts and exited the tournament.<br \/>All 10 men&#8217;s free-style wrestlers have already exited the tournament without winning either an Olympic quota or a medal in non-Olympic categories.<br \/>All Indian athletes are competing under the UWW flag because the wrestling federation is suspended.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ?
