England's Syerus Eslami secured a wrestling bronze medal in the men's -86kg event at the Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast.
The 22-year-old beat David Conteh of Sierra Leone by technical superiority, without dropping a point.
Eslami had knocked out Kenyan Mark Inguyesi and New Zealand's Toby Fitzpatrick, before losing to Nigeria's Melvin Bibo in the semi-final.
Bibo eventually claimed silver, with Pakistan's Muhammad Inam taking gold.
