Geeta
was overwhelmed by the 31-year-old Ukraine girl, who started on an
aggressive note to nearly pin down the Indian with her superior
technique and strength.
In
the first period, Tetyana bagged eight technical points while in the
second round, she gathered one more to emerge clear winner over the
23-year-old Geeta.
Earlier,
Geeta had remained in the medal hunt despite losing her
pre-quarterfinal bout after her vanquisher Tonya Lynn Verbeek of Canada
reached the final.
Geeta, who had lost 1-3 to Verbeek, was in the reckoning for a bronze medal through the repechage round.
Geeta
had to beat Tetyana in the first bout of the repechage round but she
rather surrendered tamely, much to the dismay of the Indian supporters
here.
In
the pre-quarterfinal, Geeta threw away an advantageous position in the
first period against Verbeek as she failed to make the most of the
clinch awarded in her favour.
The 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist raised her performance and won the second period 1-0 to level the scores.
But
Verbeek, who has an Olympic silver and bronze medal to her credit,
relied on all her experience to turn the table on the Indian in the
third and decisive period of the match.
