While Sakshi (60kg) lost 3-2 to Germany\u2019s Luisa Niemesch in the first round itself, Vinesh (48kg) went down to two-time junior world champion Victoria Anthony of the USA in the second round.<\/p>\n<p>What made the defeat taste all the more bitter for Vinesh was the fact that she was leading Victoria 4-0 at one stage. But Vinesh suddenly changed her approach and became defensive, allowing her opponent to attack and clinch the bout by technical fall.
