Rattigan to fight for bronze after defeat

England wrestler Leon Rattigan has valiantly lost in his men's freestyle 97kg semi-final at the Commonwealth Games.

The British number one held his own for long stages before going down 8-4 to India's Satywart Kadian in Glasgow.

Rattigan misses out on the final, but still has a chance of getting on the podium as he will fight in the bronze-medal match against New Zealand's Sam Belkin on Wednesday evening.

The 26-year-old's Ukrainian-born wife, Yana Rattigan, took silver in the women's freestyle 48kg on Tuesday.
