Leon Rattigan bounces back to take wrestling bronze for England

Rattigan bounces back to take bronze

Team England's Leon Rattigan has bounced back from his earlier disappointment to win a bronze medal in the men's 97kg freestyle wrestling at the Commonwealth Games.

The British number one, who also won bronze at Delhi 2010, was defeated 8-4 by India's Satywart Kadian earlier today to end his hopes of gold.

Rattigan put in a dominant display in the final, though, and recorded a 12-2 victory at the SECC to see off Nigeria's Soso Tamarau.

Rattigan's wife Yana won silver in yesterday's women's 48kg freestyle.
