Indian wrestler Ravi Dahiya on Tuesday got a good draw as he will open his 57kg campaign in the Tokyo Olympics against Colombia's Tigreros Urbano and going by form, he should not face much difficulty in reaching at least the semi-finals.

In the men's freestyle 86kg, Deepak Punia is pitted against Nigeria's Ekerekeme Agiomor, the African championship bronze medallist.

If the 2019 world silver medallist wins, he will be up against China's Zushen Lin or Peru's Edinson. Meanwhile, Anshu Malik, 19, has got a difficult opener as she is drawn European champion Irina Kurachikina.
