Japan took back stage on a night dominated by Iran, failing to win a top podium spot in the men's freestyle wrestling competition at the Asian Games on Monday.

Iran snatched up three of the four gold medals on offer, with Uzbekistan taking the other in the middle and heavyweight divisions.

Iran's Masoud Esmaeilpoorjouybari, the reigning silver medalist at 61 kg, claimed the gold medal after his victory over Bajrang of India in the final.
